THE NET EFFECT OF ALL OF THIS? What British Breeders need to know if sending mares to Ireland this Spring

Uncertainty on world financial markets means that Sterling’s as strong as it has been for seven years against the Euro, making Irishbased stallions better value than ever to British breeders.

Covering fees of Irish-based stallions have fallen by 10% since the December Sales. This seismic shift has been caused not by any issue within the bloodstock industry but by the larger problem of the continuing downward spiral of the European single currency against Sterling.

Don’t just take our word for it – have you noticed how Coolmore’s recent advertisements have emphasised the advantageous Sterling equivalent of their stallions’ Euro stud fees? And when did John Magnier’s marketing men last make a mistake?

At the beginning of the December Sales in Newmarket, £1 would have bought €1.25. Into March, £1 is worth €1.38, an increase of 10% in your favour, driven by Greek uncertainty, politicians and widespread financial market negativity about the Eurozone’s problems. In real terms, €100,000 of 2015 covering fees have fallen in cost to British breeders by £7,500 in just 100 days.

Needless to say, this has not happened before.

Nor is this an isolated blip on the graph: compared to a year ago, when £1 was worth €1.19, €100,000 now costs you £11,000 less.

Fifty years after his death, that famous breeder Winston Churchill’s words come to mind - that a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity while an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

And since you breed racehorses, by definition you’re the latter of the two.

At Plutus, we can help you realise the opportunity from the Euro’s difficulty. We’re a specialist Foreign Exchange provider, offering exchange rates for foreign currencies which are remarkably sharper than those offered by High Street banks, thus saving you money

Plutusfx Ltd. is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 521572) for the provision of payment services

£11,000 OFF YOUR STALLION FEES IN 2015 on all overseas payments. Unlike High Street banks, we don’t offer loans, credit cards, or investment advice. Or impersonal service, hidden charges, never-ending queues, overseas call centres, tedious delays to international payments or indeed account managers who can never be reached by telephone or in person.

Being specialists in foreign currency enables us to offer forward contracts for your covering fees, allowing you to book your Euro now, at today’s favourable exchange rate, without having to pay for them until October 1st, or to fit whatever terms you’ve agreed for your mare.

them then we promise you a straightforward and common-sense conversation. We definitely won’t make you feel, in the words of legendary American trainer Charlie Whittingham, “as confused as the little boy who lost his chewing gum in the chicken coop”.

Covering fees are one of the biggest costs of your bloodstock investment, and a eleven grand discount always helps. We’ll help you make the right decisions for your stallion fees in 2015.

In a market driven by uncertainty (and as a breeder, you’ll be used to that), the only thing we lack is the crystal ball to tell you not only where the Euro goes from here but also if and when David Redvers will appear on your doorstep waving a chequebook.

Since we understand both the currency market and the bloodstock business, we already work on behalf of some of the biggest names in European bloodstock. If you’d like to talk to us about joining

Paul Haigh asks whether European-trained sprinters are getting better?

“

Muhaarar: after his Commonwealth Cup win the three-year-old added the July Cup to his resume, despite failing to handle the Newmarket course

“

All generalisations are dangerous” says the old joke, “including this one”.

But racing is made up of generalisations, or assumptions based on observation, or pure wild guesswork based on hunch.

Whether you’re dealing with breeding, or buying, or calculation of going, or track bias, or how many white socks make a horse quirky, or the effect of generations of “medication” on the breed, or just plain punting, there is no such thing as hard scientific fact.

It is why those who depend on maths to solve racing’s various problems usually wind up with eyes-swivelling in opposite directions and faces unrecognisable through a liberal coating of egg.

That doesn’t stop us making generalisations though, or trying new ones out for size, or accepting a select few of them as self-evident truths. One of those in the third category, which has snuck into this addled brain in the last few years, has been the one about sprinters.

The best sprinters come from Australia, it says. The best Australian sprinters tend to be snapped up by the spending power of Hong Kong. When European sprinters are exposed to the meteoric speed of these splendid creatures they are invariably defenceless: swept aside, you might say, like English batsmen before

Evidence from the major sprints run in Britain so far this summer suggests there may be more than a few cracks in the Australian edifice

villainously moustachioed and hideously tattooed Australian fast bowlers.

The suspicion began with the arrival of the bulllike chestnut Choisir at the start of the millennium.

(Everybody said he was “bull-like”, except those who preferred to call him “a tank”).

It firmed with the sight of what Silent Witness did to our champion sprinters when they went to challenge him on his home turf, and with the victory of his perennial understudy Cape Of Good Hope in the Golden Jubilee.

It became impermeable with the victories of such as Takeover Target and Miss Andretti and had become set in concrete by the time the half-fit, but still far too good, Black Caviar dealt with Moonlight Cloud in spite of being eased down prematurely by her understandably over-confident jockey.

“Well, they may have the best sprinters” we consoled ourselves. “But we’ve got the best middle-distance horses. And as everyone knows, it’s middle-distance horses who count.”

But is the generalisation actually true? Evidence from the major sprints run in Britain so far this summer suggests there may be more than a few cracks in the Australian edifice.

Admittedly the Australians may have become a

first word little bit blasé and have tended to send horses who weren’t quite champions, but which they thought were probably good enough to beat up the Poms. Probably an understandable error since Choisir himself wasn’t considered a champion back home.

Admittedly, there are big problems involved in bringing horses 12,000 miles to race, bigger anyway than bringing them from Newmarket or Lambourn or Middleham.

Admittedly, some Australian jockeys have made the odd mistake their mounts have not been able to overcome.

But like Little Bridge from Hong Kong, whose cantering victory under Zac Purton is still fresh in the minds of those of us who backed him, or the mare Ortensia who blew everything away coming from last to first at Goodwood and York, when it all comes right their sprinters beat ours.

Except this year.

Goldream beat Medicean Man in what must have been a sub-standard King’s Stand. (It must have been sub-standard because old Medicean Man nearly won it, although if you accept the belief prevalent East of Suez that is jockey Joao Moreira on a sprinter’s back is worth a couple of lengths over 5f and maybe three at six, then you can give the King’s Stand the benefit of any doubt.)

An American, Undrafted, beat an Australian in the inaugural running of the Commonwealth Cup. Muhaarar won the Diamond Jubilee for “Britain” with absolute authority, and then the remarkable three-yearold added the July Cup on to the CV, even though he disliked the Newmarket July Course.

Yes the Hong Kong champion Aerovelocity didn’t bother coming to Europe after cleaning up the Hong Kong Sprint, the Takamatsunomiya Kinen in Japan and the KrisFlyer Sprint in Singapore. But he’s a gelding, so why should his connections bother with our paltry prize-money in races that can only be used to improve value at stud?

Yes, a Hong Konger, Rich Tapestry, last year became the first overseas horse to win a Group 1 Sprint on Dirt in the US for more than 20 years, and he did it without the dubious benefit of Lasix. But when he tried to back up as favourite for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint he bled and finished last behind rivals, who were all chocfull of goodness, or as we would think of it, badness.

Four years ago, JJ The Jet Plane, a South African born and bred, stunned the Orient by taking the Hong Kong Sprint.

About that time highly respectable sprinters began to emerge from Spain (Equiano and Noozooh Canarias) even Hungary – Overdose, the Budapest Bullet, moral victor of the Prix de l’Abbaye.

And you only have to go back to 2013 to think of the best sprinter some of us have ever seen, the Japanese Lord Kanaloa, who eviscerated the Hong Kong Australians (and others) for the second time in two

“

Perhaps the quality of British, Irish and European sprinters has improved with the improved status of sprinting in this part of the world?

HK International meetings, so effectively that Caspar Fownes threw up his hands and said “we’ll just have to wait for this feller to retire”.

A Japanese horse? Everyone knows that Japan’s breeding industry is geared almost entirely to the production of middle-distance horses, with the ultimate aim of one day capturing the grail that is the Arc.

T

he point is that it now seems exceptional sprinters can come from just about anywhere. There is no one herd that produces them while another produces only stayers.

The inferiority complex the British acquired in the 90s and first decade of this century may actually be out of date – not just because Muhaarar’s exploits on home turf seem to contradict the supposedly irrefutable evidence.

Or was it irrefutable? Perhaps the quality of British, Irish and European sprinters has improved with the improved status of sprinting in this part of the world?

Certainly the new respectability of sprinting means that top sprinters need no longer necessarily be wannabe Guineas horses, who’ve failed to cut it at a mile.

Then again, perhaps Europe’s sprinters never were that bad by international standards. Why then were they beaten so consistently?

Running out of season and away from home must have had something to do with it. But perhaps there is a simpler explanation. Perhaps it was just the way they were ridden. You don’t have to be very old to remember the days when the first thing a jockey would do when the gates opened – usually under instructions even in a 5f race – was to “get the horse to relax”, maybe even take a pull.

This did no harm at all when most of the rest of the field were doing the same thing, but as our riders and trainers soon found out, if you tried that ploy against the likes of Silent Witness you glanced up after about 50 yards and found he’d actually gone.

Of course, there is still a future for the hold-up sprinter. It’s impossible to think of a horse such as Sole Power, for example, being ridden for sustained speed straight from the gate.

But, in general, people have learnt that if you want to make best use of a horse’s finishing kick you have to hold him or her up not too far off the pace.

The top-class sprints currently being run in Britain look very different from those that were run here before the turn of the millennium. They are run fast from the moment the stalls open (perhaps sectional timing experts can confirm this) and horses who miss the kick or can’t handle early pace get left behind.

Now British and Irish horses (and jockeys) are used to that change they are able to compete.

That’s the latest generalisation, with exceptions of course – like Ortensia. But all generalisations are dangerous. Even that one.

the news California Chrome at Rae Guest’s Chestnut Tree Stables in Newmarket.

Unfortunately, British race fans did not get to see the son of Lucky Pulpit in competitive action at Royal Ascot.

Connections have recently decided to put off stud plans for a year so hopes are high he will successfully return to a racecourse next season

Taylor Made purchases share in California Chrome The four-time Grade 1 winner goes back into training for 2016

KENTUCKY-BASED Taylor Made has purchased Steve and Carolyn Coburn's share in four-time Grade 1 winner and current Horse of the Year California Chrome.

“We are thrilled to be part owners of such a historic racehorse as California Chrome, and are most grateful to Steve and Carolyn Coburn and Perry and Denise Martin for giving us this exceptional opportunity and entrusting him with our care,” said Duncan Taylor, president and CEO of Taylor Made.

“California Chrome is simply the all-time leading earner from the A.P. Indy sire line, and he’s a tremendously good-looking, athletic, and well-balanced horse who possesses great speed.

“Remarkably, he became the fifth Kentucky Derby winner from his deep female family, and he embodies the incredible toughness and soundness of the throwbacks from his family. You won’t find many horses of his quality who made 18 starts in 23 months.

He’s just now getting his first break from training.”

Dr. Larry Bramlage of Rood & Riddle

Equine Hospital in Lexington, KY added: “California Chrome’s x-rays showed all of his joints to be remarkably clean. He has the early signs of bruising to the bottom of the cannon bones.

“Horses training at high levels for long periods of time, like California Chrome has, gradually get behind in the bone’s response to the stress because we train them and then ask them to stand in the stall for most of the day.

“Horses evolved as grazing animals and that is how their bone’s blood supply works best. So the treatment is to get them back to their natural state, let them be a horse in the paddock. The return rate for horses with this problem is very high.

“When we researched prognosis for distal cannon bone bruising, we found that recovery rate was 95 per cent after giving time in the paddock to heal.”

It has been recently announced by connections that California Chrome is to return to training for 2016 after recuperation at Taylor Made.

Trained previously by Art Sherman, California Chrome won four Grade 1 races in 2014, and became just the fourth three-yearold colt since 2000 to earn Horse of the Year honours, joining an elite group that includes Tiznow and Curlin.

The biggest victories for the leading son of Lucky Pulpit came in the first two legs of the US Triple Crown – the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Preakness S. (G1).

He was beaten just a neck in his first start against older horses in the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1), and he closed his nine-race championship season with a victory in the Hollywood Derby (G1) on turf, giving him stakes wins on all three surfaces.

As a four-year-old, California Chrome finished second to Shared Belief in the San Antonio Invitational (G2) and in the $10 million Dubai World Cup (G1) at Meydan.

His subsequent trip to Britain to run in the Prince of Wales’s Stakes was aborted due to a foot abscess.

Bred by Coburn and Perry Martin, California Chrome is the first foal out of the Not For Love mare Love The Chase. She is a daughter of the Sir Ivor mare Chase It Down, a half-sister to the Listed winner Amourette.

As a great grand-son of A.P. Indy, California Chrome joins Preakness Stakes (G1) third Astrology (AP.P. Indy) at Taylor Made. The farm also stands the Grade 1 winner Graydar, whose first foals were born this spring, Northern Alfeet, Old Fashioned and the son of Giant’s Causeway, Eskendereya.

the news

National Stakes winner Toormore joins Godolphin TOORMORE has been bought by Godolphin from previous owners Middleham Park Racing.

Rated Europe’s top two-yearold in 2013 after success in the National Stakes (G1), this season

he finished fourth in the Queen Anne at Royal Ascot last time out.

Toormore will stay with trainer Richard Hannon, and will also continue racing, with no retirement date as yet revealed.

Tim Palin, representing Middleham Park Racing, explained the rationale behind the decision to sell on Thursday.

He said: “Darley and Godolphin have been interested in Toormore for a little while

now and negotiations have been ongoing for a short period.

“We’re delighted to announce he will retire to Darley Stud, though we don’t know yet if it will be Dalham Hall or Kildangan. He will race on, that was one of the things we were very keen on, for the foreseeable future.”

Reflecting on the impact Toormore has made to the syndicate, Palin added: “We’ve had our Penitents and Juniors before Toormore came along, but

this horse catapulted us into a different stratosphere.

“We have definitely noticed a different dynamic in Middleham Park since we got Toormore, we’ve probably got 50 per cent more horses.

“He’s been an absolute superstar and we’re particularly thankful to Richard [Hannon] senior and junior and Richard Hughes. They’ve been instrumental in nurturing the horse and making sure he

and a half’s rain in the late June/early July gap between race meetings, which really freshened the course up.

The Newmarket July meeting was blessed with dry weather and very fair racing conditions.

Amazing Maria showed her Royal Ascot Group 2 win was no fluke by readily taking the Group 1 Falmouth by a length from Euro Charline. The latter had been denied a run at Ascot in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes, when despite there being only six opponents, she was given little time by the starter to enter the stalls.

U

nusually dry weather has certainly dominated local conditions at Kingsclere.

I often compare rainfall figures with Liam and Jenny Norris, who live just six miles away at Clairemont Stud, near Whitchurch and they have double what we get.

But they are pretty dry, too, and it is lucky that temperatures overall have not reached the levels that have been forecast.

Trainer Andrew Balding has not been able to use the grass on the Downs nearly as often as in the past and is lucky to have invested in a mile artificial gallop replacing an old ash one. It has been named after the gallant globe trotter, Side Glance.

He has now bowed out from racing and has joined another old Kingsclere star Pentecost in active retirement.

Weather forecasts have been fairly inaccurate with promised rain rarely materialising, resulting in a plethora of raceday withdrawals.

Seemingly the only region to get regular rain has been Haydock, forcing frequent ground changes in the other direction.

Salisbury fortunately had an inch

Narrow winner Muhaarar joins Dream Ahead, Sakhee’s Secret, Stravinsky, Mozart and his own sire Oasis Dream, as recent three-year-old winners of the championship race.

Sheikh Hamdan has been a great, and loyal, supporter of racing, but he does seem to enjoy giving tonguetwisting names to many of his horses!

Liam and I had horses to try to buy at the Tattersalls July Sale, which restricted our racing opportunities.

However, he and Jenny were able to go and support Shalaa in the July Stakes. He had been a pin-hook as a foal from Castlefarm Stud and was resold as a yearling from Clairemont.

Mark Gittins and Aisling Kinane, who consigned him, were there too, so there was some great post-race craic.

I was unable to be racing as I had to inspect a Red Poll bull to replace the one we lost to T.B. and was in deepest Suffolk when the race was run.

Hopefully, that trip will be worthwhile when our herd status is reviewed shortly.

The spectre of drugs has again been to the fore in Australia with the recent confirmation that trainer Peter

Moody has been issued with three charges after his six-year-old, ex-European horse Lidari was found to have high cobalt levels after finishing second in the Turnbull Stakes (G1) in October.

Trainer Sam Kavanagh has already been suspended from training since the positive results of his Gosforth Cup winner. The horse at the centre of his case is Midsummer Sun, an exJuddmonte horse formerly trained by Sir Henry Cecil.

In July stewards issued a further 52 charges against six people, including Kavanagh. He has been issued with another 16 alleged offences, including the race-day treatment of a further five horses – among them four-time city winner Centre Pivot.

Kavanagh’s case will be the next to be heard and involves five other people, including Dr Tom Brennan, the Flemington Equine Clinic veterinarian. He has been asked to answer 11 charges, including the supply of two bottles of a substance labelled “Vitamin Complex”, which apparently contained the cobalt.

Cobalt in small trace element levels is essential for good equine health.

In large doses it is a very effective performance-enhancer, but it it also

becomes toxic and life-threatening.

Like “milk-shakes”, it is easily administered by those in highperformance sports wanting to find an edge.

An added spice to the whole drugs debate has been given by the increasing clamour surrounding the outstanding performances in this year’s Tour de France by Chris Froom.

These are being hotly denied, but we must remember that Lance Armstrong was even more vehement in his denials and he famously was proved to be a liar and a cheat.

On a lighter, but still Australian note, a senior Ballarat trainer Colin Rees had his first city winner since 1985 when Automatic Choice won at Flemington.

The horse’s sire Delightful Choice, an unraced son of Redoute’s Choice, had been bought to cover his mares at Meadow Farm, found between Pakenham and Cranbourne. Colin bought the yearling for A$750 and he won the two-year old race at 70-1, picking up A$72,000 prize-money in the process. It is reported that the winner, and his trainer, who has had some heart problems, are to be rested until the Spring Carnival!

Richard Hughes has decided to retire from the saddle after Goodwood in order to concentrate on his training career. He has a great chance of succeeding and follow in

the footsteps of previous successful Flat jockeys-turned-trainers – Freddy Head, Peter Schiergen, Harry Wragg and George Moore.

Hughes comes from a distinguished training family and has married into another one. He has the drive, determination, work ethic and charm to succeed.

Field Barn Farm needs some rain to get the grass growing again and safeguard the arable crops.

The B&B is almost there and we are about to take delivery of the home-grown pork and lamb sausages, and bacon.

We are reliant on Liam’s chickens and ducks for their eggs. Indoor and outdoor tomatoes seem to be thriving and the bees have produced a bumper crop of honey.

The garden is looking less weedy, apart from the dire ground elder problem. The new shrubs are getting a weekly soak and we made a couple of batches of elderflower cordial, which is wonderful shaken up in a cocktail.

After the dire cricket results at Lords, we either need an intervention from Mother Nature or a request to play the remaining Tests in Cardiff.

It is not a good time to be a Pom with many Aussie friends. Perhaps performance-enhancers might be good thing in the cricket, just as long as the Aussies don’t get them first!

New faces buying at a busy JRHA Select Sale

A

FTER two record years of results, the Japan Racing Horse Association (JRHA) Select Sale continued with along the same theme. The cumulative results of the two-day sale, featuring yearlings on the opening day and the sale of foals on Day 2, made a total of ¥13,173,500,000, up by just under five per cent. An increase of seven per cent was seen in the cumulative average and in the median, which rose by 13 per cent.

The gains were all achieved in the yearling trade, which saw the aggregate increase by 18 per cent and the average price climb by 21 per cent.

“This is an amazing market,” said Katsumi Yoshida of leading consignor Northern Farm to the Racing Post. “I had expected a strong market, but this result is far better than my expectation.”

The sale saw many new Japanese owners active, as well as a first venture into the market by WinStar Farm from the US and Australian trainer Gai Waterhouse.

Based near Lexington, Winstar purchased three colts – two by former US-based stallion Empire Maker, who now stands at the Shizunai Stallion Station in Hokkaido, and one by Heart’s Cry. Waterhouse, who joined forces with New Zealand agent Paul Moroney, bought a brown Bago colt whom she hopes will develop into a Melbourne Cup candidate.

As always Deep Impact dominated the height of the market getting the top priced lot and seven of the top ten. Hajime Satomi, a gaming executive and one of Japan’s wealthiest businessmen, purchased the top lot for ¥235,000,000, a colt out of the Group 3-placed and Listed Silken Glider Stakes winner Jioconda (Rossini).

She is dam of three black-type horses including Lightening Pearl, winner of the Cheveley Park Stakes (G1) and the Round Tower Stakes (G3). Satomi owns the yearling's half-brother Satono Crown, who finished third in this year's Tokyo Yushun (Japanese Derby).

Satomi also spent ¥195,000,000 on the first foal out of the New Zealand Guineas (G1) winner King’s Rose (Redoute’s Choice). In total, he bought seven yearlings and was the session’s leading purchaser.

Kaneko Makoto Holdings bought a Deep Impact colt out of the three-time European Group 1 winner Lush Lashes for ¥230,000,000, going to the same amount for a grey Tapit colt, the second foal from the dual US Grade 1 winner Champagne D’Oro. Kaneko Makoto Holdings raced Triple Crown winner Deep Impact, who was represented by 22 yearlings and was easily the leading sire in the session by average ahead of Heart’s Cry, the Queen Elizabeth II Cup (G1) winner Rulership, whose first crop of yearlings were offered, and his sire, King Kamehameha.

The trends repeated in the foals’ session – Deep Impact topping proceedings ahead of King Kamehameha, the Japanese Triple Crown winner and dual Arc runner-up Orfevre and Stay Gold.

The top-priced foal was also by Deep Impact, being a filly and a second foal out of the Del Mar Debutante (G1) and Oak Leaf Stakes (G1) winner Wemissfrankie. She was bought by Danox Co. Ltd for ¥180,000,000.

Darley US stallions to cover on southern-hemisphere time

Darley America is to make available its roster of stallions to be bred on southern-hemisphere time effective from September 1 for the Australian breeding season and August 1 for South America.

A southern-hemisphere fee of A$20,000 has been set for

Elusive Quality, Hard Spun and Street Sense, with live foal guaranteed.

Elusive Quality, a son of Gone West, is the sire of 14 top-level winners, including Camarilla and Sepoy from his time shuttling to Australia.

The operation’s new sales manager Darren Fox said: “The popularity of our non-shuttling stallions on an international scale continues to grow and we are very pleased and excited to be able to open our breeding shed to meet this demand.”

No doubts...

...for leading sales consignor Ted Voute, who voices his opinion on all things bloodstock and sales-related

he second-hand British and Irish thoroughbred racehorse business couldn’t be stronger.

The international interest in our bloodstock, which is renowned for its drug-free environment, has pushed the prices northward over the last few years.

Traditionally, our purchasers have originated from Hong Kong and the US, but due to the lack of stamina in Australian pedigrees many of the powerful stables from Down Under have begun to source potential stayers in Europe.

Interestingly, a very similar profile of thoroughbred exists with those wishing to source potential runners for the King’s Cup races in Saudi Arabia.

Those horses with more speed are attractive to the ever-powerful Hong Kong stables, which can bid extraordinary amounts of money for low-mileage thoroughbreds performing at Class 1 level.

America, too, has a thriving market for All-Weather performers and for those horses running over a mile to 1m2f.

Domestically, and largely with Middle Eastern investment, potential Classic two-year-olds can become involved in a competitive bidding environment, Royal families from both Qatar and Dubai aiming to assemble a powerful armoury to do battle at all the major racing festivals, not to mention other European major prizes, including the Arc. Having recently been involved on both sides of transactions servicing the above appetite for our bloodstock, I pondered on a scheme that, although heavy in numbers, could feed this ever-growing demand.

Many of our middle-distance sires’ progeny are largely unwanted at the yearling stage, outside of the very top percentage. Good yearlings by stallions such as Montjeu, Gallileo, Teofilo and Authorized are often friendless in the market as our truly domestic owners aim to buy twoyear-old types for instant fun – although Mr A D Spence springs to mind as one of the few middle-distance yearling purchasers.

Over the last decade the likes of John Dunlop, David Elsworth, Andrew and Ian Balding regularly sought out the1m2f to 1m4f horse, but two of those trainers are no longer training.

Mark Johnson may have taken the place of John Dunlop, but supply of middle-distance types still outstrips the demand.

16

Hard Spun, a son of Danzig, has left South African Group 1 winner Ertijaal from his time shuttling to Australia, while Street Sense’s leading performer worldwide is the Randwick Guineas (G1) winner Hallowed Crown.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

And looking at prize-money it is obvious that this supply outstrips the number of competitive horses available.

Recently Germany has sold many top staying types meaning that this year many of the country’s four-year-old races are open to plundering missions from France and Britain.

Bearing all this in mind, it seems a definite area which seems undervalued at the investment stage compared to the opportunities to win major prize-money and, most importantly, re-sell abroad.

And there is also stallion value to consider, which, from time to time, offers racehorse owners a jackpot scenario.

This year’s prime example is Golden Horn, who was led out unsold at 190,000gns, admittedly not a small amount of money. Many judges have since looked at their notes to realise that there was nothing at all wrong with him; they merely lacked an order for a potential Derby horse!

There is value to be had and if I was looking to create an investment vehicle to introduce new money into the sport, it would be to purchase this type of horse.

The purchase of this sort of yearling is far cheaper than trying to buy the potential Royal Ascot two-year-old, which is now the hottest property in town.

My challenge to the industry is to create a market either by banging the drum of potential return for these kind of horses or for someone to create a large syndicate using proven professional advice and buy a number of, let’s say at least 10, of these kind of horses to go to war with.

Get the trainer to be involved either financially or an equivalent stake – we only need to look at John Gosden and his highly successful Rachel Hood syndicate to see that it can be highly rewarding.

The down side is always heavy as you need to be at least 30 per cent successful.

You can end up merely buying a point-to-pointer if you get things a little wrong and with backward horses also come immaturity problems. The first year’s training fees often have to be written off as they usually generate one run at the backend and nothing else to show for a first year’s outlay.

But, if all that were taken into account as part of an investment and strategic plan, I really think there are options out there worth investigating.

Muhaarar bosses his elders

And sire of sires Green Desert makes his mark on the summer of 2015, writes Sue Montgomery

T

he notion of like begetting like has been the basis of the development of the thoroughbred for centuries and, very simplistically, provides a reasonable template. But, happily for the bloodstock industry, nature regularly contradicts perceptions and expectations; the workings of genetics providing enough variation to keep breeders on their toes. And without the surprises, good and bad, their world would be less a theatre of dreams and more a factory conveyor belt.

Some things, though, can be counted as predictable, one of them being the excellence of Green Desert as a source of class and speed, and within nine days in early July three of his paternal grandsons took European Group 1 prizes – Golden Horn, by Cape Cross, won the Eclipse Stakes, Muhaarar, by Oasis Dream, the July Cup and Territories, by Invincible Spirit, the Prix Jean Prat.

Muhaarar, runaway winner of the Commonwealth Cup, shared 2-1 favouritism for the Darley-sponsored Newmarket feature with Diamond Jubilee Stakes runner-up Brazen Beau. Though his final-stride defeat of 25-1 shot Tropics was in sharp visual contrast to his Royal Ascot performance, it certainly confirmed him as the sprint division’s rising star.

The three-year-old, taking on seasoned older horses for the first time, was patently unsuited by the undulations of the track – on the downhill section “he had a leg in each county” according to rider Paul Hanagan – but once against the collar on the run to the line he showed his racing heart, as well as his abundant talent.

Trailblazing Tropics, also runner-up a year previously, lost the £500,000 contest by just a nose, followed in by Eastern Impact and Sole Power. Australian ace Brazen Beau faded to seventh in the final half-furlong.

Muhaarar, owned and bred by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, was one of last year’s best juvenile sprinters – he won the Gimcrack Stakes (G2) and finished a close third in the Middle Park Stakes (G1) – and began his second season as a Classic prospect, winning the Greenham Stakes (G3) before an unplaced effort in the Poule d’Essai des Poulains (G1).

Flying free back at 6f, the little Charlie Hills-trained colt has lived up to his name – Arabic for liberated – and his heritage.

His Newmarket victory completed a notable family treble – Oasis Dream won the July Cup as a three-year-old in 2003, following Green Desert’s example back in 1986.

This is just Muhaarar’s second 6f Group 1 so he’s getting sharper all the time, but I actually wouldn’t have any problem going up to 7f again with him aptitude can be considered unremarkable in the broad sense, but is rare enough in the specific. Only once before in the July Cup have three generations succeeded in the direct line: Sundridge, the race’s sole triple hero with a hat-trick from 1902-4, sired the 1914 winner Golden Sun, who in turn got Golden Corn, successful in 1923.

Sundridge, who overcame injury and a wind infirmity to become a high-class sprinter, proved a successful and influential sire over a variety of distances. He was by Amphion, who at four beat Derby winner Sainfoin in the Hardwicke Stakes and Oaks heroine Memoir in the Champion Stakes, out of an unraced sister to Sainfoin by dual July Cup winner Springfield.

As well as classy sprinters, Sundridge was responsible for the 1911 2,000 Guineas and Derby winner Sunstar and for the significant matron Lady Josephine, dam of Mumtaz Mahal and Lady Juror.

G

reen Desert, from the second crop of Danzig out of an unraced Sir Ivor half-sister to top-class US middledistance filly Althea, is now in honoured retirement at the age of 32 at Sheikh Hamdan’s Shadwell Stud.

His 32 three-greats grand-parents include Mumtaz Mahal’s daughter Mumtaz Begum and Lady Juror’s son Fair Trial.

Like Muhaarar, Green Desert started his second season as a Classic contender, winning the Free Handicap before running second to Dancing Brave in the 2,000 Guineas, beaten for both speed and stamina. Reinvented as a sprinter he became the first of six July Cup winners by Danzig, followed by Polish Precedent, Hamas, Anabaa, Elnadim and Agnes World.

Green Desert’s 12 top-level winners have included sprinters – Oasis Dream, another July Cup winner in Owington, Invincible Spirit, Sheikh Albadou, Markab, Tamarisk – and milers, such as Desert Prince, Cape Cross and Heat Haze.

His baton as a stallion has been picked up most notably in Europe by Oasis Dream,

20

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

Invincible Spirit and Cape Cross, with Desert Sun and Volksraad contributing in Australasia.

And with grandsons at stud including proven horses such as Sea The Stars, Lawman, Zebedee, Showcasing, Approve and Australia-based I Am Invincible (Brazen Beau’s sire), plus such as Kingman, Charm Spirit, Mayson and Power in the pipeline, his dynasty looks secure.

Muhaarar is out of the Listed-placed Linamix mare Tahrir, who was acquired by Shadwell for 350,000gns as a yearling. She has a five-for-five record with her runners, the previous best being the Tiger Hill gelding Tamaathul, a regular earner at Meydan over the past few seasons.

“He’s a real fighter,” said Hills of

Muhaarar. “He didn’t look to happy going down the hill, he was hanging a bit, but when he met the rising ground he took off and battled all the way.

“This is just Muhaarar’s second 6f Group 1 so he’s getting sharper all the time, but I actually wouldn’t have any problem going up to 7f again with him. It’s fairly straightforward for him now, we’ve got the Prix Maurice de Gheest and then the Sprint Cup at Haydock. He’s not in the Nunthorpe so that’s out of calculations.”

The July Cup hero is the 14th individual top-level success worldwide for Oasis Dream, who stands at his owner-breeder Prince Khalid Abdullah’s Banstead Manor, and his second of 2015 after another sprinter in King’s Stand Stakes (G1) winner Goldream.

Now a 15-year-old, Oasis Dream followed his defeat of Choisir in the July Cup with a successful drop back to 5f in the Nunthorpe Stakes. The stallion may have shown his best as a speedster, but he is from one of the best Juddmonte staying families – his unraced dam Hope is a Dancing Brave sister to Irish Oaks winner Wemyss Bight, herself dam of

Never in doubt: Golden Horn takes the Eclipse Stakes from The Grey Gatsby

july week Grand Prix de Paris (G1) winner Beat Hollow. Zenda, another of Hope’s siblings, won the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches (G1) and produced last year’s champion miler Kingman, by Invincible Spirit.

Like Danehill and Pivotal, Oasis Dream is the modern stallion master’s dream, a topclass sprinter capable of getting precocious juveniles and high-class performers over a range of distances.

His ill-fated daughter Jwala followed in his hoofprints at York, Midday won a Yorkshire Oaks (G1) and a Prix Vermeille (G1), Monitor Closely finished third in a St Leger (G1).

Pivotal, incidentally, initiated another across-the-generations series in a top-level sprint. He took the Nunthorpe Stakes in 1996, his son Kyllachy in 2003 and that one’s son Sole Power followed suit in 2010 before winning again last year.

Such male-line sequences, though, are infrequent. There have been seven in the Derby, just four in the 2,000 Guineas, one in the Eclipse Stakes, none in the Arc or King George.

The Nunthorpe earlier produced two

chains of four, but the race with the best such record is the St Leger, which has produced 16 sequences of three or more, including five in a row from Touchstone 1834, Newminster 1851, Lord Clifden 1863, Petrarch 1876 and Throstle 1894.

The miler Cape Cross, Green Desert’s third significant stallion son, had his best days on the track in the Lockinge Stakes (G1) as a four-year-old and the Celebration Mile (G1) at five.

The 21-year-old, based under the Darley banner at Kildangan Stud, has saved his best until later in his second career, too. He has topped the remarkable globetrotting Ouija Board, winner of seven Group or Grade 1s between 2004 and 2006 with firstly Sea The Stars, the unbeaten champion of 2009, and now Golden Horn, who took his record to five from five in the Eclipse Stakes (G1).

The John Gosden-trained colt, owned and bred by Anthony Oppenheimer, emulated Sea The Stars by following his Derby victory with Right, the Green Desert 2015 Group1 three: from top to bottom, Cape Cross, Oasis Dream and Invincible Spirit

By Duke Of Marmalade out of a Fasliyev mare, Big Orange (centre), bred by Stetchworth and Middle Park Studs, wins the Princess of Wales’s Stakes

Golden Horn, on whom Frankie Dettori perfectly judged the fractions from the front, is another with an exemplary attitude to go with his talent success at Sandown against his elders.

In a small field only The Grey Gatsby, so unlucky in the Prince Of Wales’s Stakes (G1) at Royal Ascot, was thought likely to provide a test, and so it proved.

But the determined challenge in the straight from the four-year-old, who had upset the previous year’s Derby winner Australia in the Irish Champion Stakes (G1), was readily seen off.

Golden Horn, on whom Frankie Dettori perfectly judged the fractions from the front, is another with an exemplary attitude to go with his talent and at the time of writing was odds-on to become the first since Nashwan in 1989 to add the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (G1) to his haul.

The horse who gave Sea The Stars his biggest fright as a three-year-old was Mastercraftsman, who – thanks to Falmouth Stakes (G1) winner Amazing Maria – has now matched his contemporary and rival with

Amazing Maria

three Group 1 winners from his first crop. The others for the Coolmore resident, who is a son of Danehill Dancer, being The Grey Gatsby and currently sidelined St Leger winner, Kingston Hill.

Amazing Maria, one of many testaments to the skill of her new trainer having joined David O’Meara this season, was 25-1 when she beat Rizeena at Royal Ascot, but showed that was no fluke as she notched her first top-level win at Newmarket. In a contest run at a muddling pace with a few finding trouble, Sir Robert Ogden’s home-bred was given an excellent ride by James Doyle, whose challenge started in just the right place at just the right time.

In a division that seems evenly matched, she had a length to spare over Euro Charline, with Avenir Certain the best of the French raiders a head away third.

“She’d been bouncing after Ascot,” said O’Meara of the four-year-old. “The race there didn’t appear to take much out of her and she’s been as well as I’ve ever had her.”

Amazing Maria is likely to take on the French on their own turf in the Prix Rothschild (G1) at Deauville.

It’s a time-honoured truism that as soon as a horse dies or is exported, his progeny begin to shine. The loss to Coolmore of High Chaparral last year has already been keenly felt and has been further emphasised by

the recent exploits of Free Eagle, conqueror of The Grey Gatsby at Royal Ascot, and of Mr Singh, whose taking performance in the Bahrain Trophy (G3) at Newmarket propelled him to St Leger second favouritism, behind Derby third Storm The Stars.

Duke Of Marmalade, whose young Galileo half-brother Ruler Of The World started stud duties in County Tipperary this year, is now in South Africa.

Four days after the Danehill horse’s threeyear-old Nutan won the Deutsches Derby, year-older Big Orange provided the surprise of the Newmarket July week by taking the Princess Of Wales’s Stakes at 25-1.

We may already have seen the winners of next year’s 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas – seven out of the past dozen of the colt’s Classic, including this year’s hero Gleneagles, made their debuts before the end of July of the relevant year, and ten of the 1,000 Guineas, including Legatissimo.

But whether or not any of those running at Newmarket’s summer showpiece fixture make any Classic impact remains to be seen.

Of recent winners of the three Group 2 races only Dubawi and Dr Devious, in the Superlative Stakes, and Attraction and Sayyedati, in the Duchess Of Cambridge (ex Cherry Hinton) Stakes, have done so.

Last year’s July Stakes went to subsequent Newmarket and Curragh Guineas third Ivawood with Muhaarar in third, but you

Shalaa, a 170,000gns yearling, clearly has bags of pace – he is thought to be the fastest juvenile in the John Gosden yard have to go back more than 60 years to find a winner of the calendar’s oldest surviving two-year-old contest who went on to success in a Classic.

That was the 1954 2,000 Guineas winner Darius. History must be somewhat against Shalaa, the latest to take the juvenile race first run in 1786.

Shalaa, by Irish National Stud-based Invincible Spirit, was clear of his rivals going to the final furlong, though he showed inexperience as he hung left in the closing stages.

Shalaa, a 170,000gns yearling, clearly has bags of pace – he is thought to be the fastest juvenile in the John Gosden yard – and has the Richmond Stakes (G2) at Goodwood pencilled in.

Birchwood, trained by Richard Fahey for Godolphin, bounced back from a defeat on easy ground in Ireland to give Dark Angel a second successive Superlative Stakes (G2) after Estidhkaar. Birchwood broke the 7f

july week juvenile track record in the process.

At the end of July week, Dark Angel, by Acclamation and who retired to Morristown Lattin after his juvenile season, was top of the juvenile earnings’ table with an exceptional winners-to-runners ratio.

Coolmore resident Zoffany has been setting the pace from the start on this year’s first-season lists. One of his three Royal Ascot winners, the Albany Stakes heroine Illuminate, followed up at Newmarket, but it was by a nose only that she held Besharah in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (G2), with Blue Bayou a short-head away in the closest finish of the week.

Zoffany, winner of the Phoenix Stakes (G1) at two, was one Dansili’s fastest juveniles and at three came closer than any other horse to beating the mighty Frankel in a Group 1 race.

He joined the Coolmore squad as a yearling for 220,000gns – and like former first-crop champion Mastercraftsman, is a grandson of Danehill.

If there was a future Classic winner on view at Newmarket, it may have been a less-exposed filly. The Aidan O’Brien-trained Ballydoyle, a beautiful daughter of Galileo, made up for her narrow Listed Chesham Stakes defeat with the smoothest of victories in the 7f maiden, while Sheikh Hamdan’s Shamardal newcomer Lumiere, one of Mark Johnston’s notably strong juvenile team, produced a 6l romp in a 6f maiden.

Erupting on the scene Colts by Invincible Spirit and Dubawi dominate the last Group 1 three-year-old races staged in France this year, writes Jocelyn de Moubray

F

our progressive and high-class colts contested the finish of France’s two late season Group 1s for three-year-olds, the Prix Jean Prat at Chantilly over a mile and the Grand Prix de Paris over 1m4f at Longchamp both run in mid-July.

After mid-July the only European Group 1 for the three-year-old generation is the Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf in early August for fillies.

The Jean Prat and the Grand Prix de Paris offer a last chance to those who missed out on the Classic races, as well as an opportunity for late developing types.

Godolphin’s Territories just missed a Classic victory when he finished second to Gleneagles in the 2,000 Guineas.

26

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

The André Fabre-trained son of Invincible Spirit had also finished second in the Group 1 Prix Jean Luc Lagardère at two – he was hampered then by Gleneagles, finished third and was awarded second place by the stewards.

Territories has always looked like a future Group 1 winner since breaking his maiden in brilliant fashion last July in Chantilly.

His pedigree is a mixture of speed and stamina as his dam, the Machiavellian mare Taranto, was placed in a Listed race at Lingfield over a 1m5f, while his second dam won the Group 3 Prix de Barbeville over nearly 2m.

His third dam was a Group winner at two for Lord Weinstock and is a half-sister to Street Cry.

Despite all the stamina in his pedigree it is unlikely Territories will be asked to race over further than a mile, but he showed in the Jean Prat that he is particularly suited to a fast-run mile.

The Lagardère winner Full Mast, along with a couple of British challengers, made a concerted effort to get to the lead and took each on at far too fast a pace through the first 4f.

When the eight-strong field turned into Chantilly’s straight Territories and Dutch Connection were in the last two places, sensibly held up waiting for the leaders to tire.

Territories made his move first and quickly raced passed those who had gone off in front.

Dutch Connection followed him through, and while the pair raced clear together, the Fabretrained colt was always holding his rival. He

Erupt scoots away to take the Grand Prix De Paris (G1) with jockey Stéphane Pasquier.

The lack of early pace turned the finish into a sprint, and the Niarchos family ‘s Dubawi colt came clear to become the second Group 1 winner for the sire in France this year

won by a half-length with the remainder 6l and more behind.

Territories is, at worst, the second-best miler of his generation in Europe behind Gleneagles. As he looked more at home on the good ground at Chantilly than he had on the firm ground in the Guineas at Newmarket, his connections are sure to want to take on the Adian O’Brien-trained colt again when conditions are in their favour.

Territories is the third top-class miling colt his sire Invincible Spirit has produced in two years following Kingman and Charm Spirit.

Dutch Connection has improved from being a Group performer at two into a real Group 1 horse at three and this was another leading performance after his win in the Jersey Stakes (G3) at Royal Ascot.

The son of Dutch Art also has a mixed pedigree as he is, like the Derby winner Golden Horn, out of a mare by Dubai Destination, while his second dam is by the jumping sire Definite Article. He is owned

by Susan Roy and Cheveley Park Stud and was produced when his sire was standing at only £5,000. Dutch Art’s 2013 yearlings were produced off a fee of £18,000, but since then his covering price has been raised to £35,000 and then £40,000.

The Grand Prix de Paris was run very differently to the Jean Prat as there was no early pace at all and the six-runner field sprinted up Longchamp’s home straight covering the last 5f in less than a minute.

The finish came down to a duel between two previously unbeaten and well-bred colts, the Niarchos family’s Erupt and the Haras de

Saint Pair’s Ampere.

Erupt had the benefit of more experience than his rival and was in the right place to get first run, while Ampere was still pulling for his head with less than a mile to run and was then trapped between rivals at a crucial part of the race.

At the line the Francis Graffard-trained son of Dubawi had 2l to spare over Ampere and this pair came away from Storm The Stars, Silverware and Balios, who finished together in a photo for third place.

Only the John Gosden-trained pair of Golden Horn and Jack Hobbs are superior to these two late-developing colts over 1m4f, and they are set to meet again in the Prix Niel (G1) in September before plans are finalised for the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe.

Erupt is the second Dubawi colt to win a Group 1 in France this year following the Jockey-Club winner New Bay. Erupt’s dam Mare Nostrum finished second in the Group 1 Prix Saint-Alary and comes from the famous family founded by Fanfreluche at Claiborne Farm. The only surprising part of Erupt’s pedigree is that he is only the fourth winner from his dam’s first nine foals, and by far the best to date.

Erupt has been brought along slowly by Graffard and, after making a winning debut in Lyon in April, he returned to win a stakes race over the same track in May and then a Group 3 at Chantilly in June. He was supplemented for the Grand Prix de Paris and responded by putting up by far the best performance of his career.

Ampere is another home-bred and is a son of Galileo and out of the US Grade 1 winner Amorama. This was only his third career start – after making a winning debut at Longchamp he took the Group 2 Prix Hocquart for Saint Pair and Fabre in May. He is the fourth winner from the first five foals of Amorama, and by far the best of them. She died foaling earlier this year and her last progeny is a yearling colt by Lawman.

Ampere also comes from a well-known family – his third dam is a half-sister to Triptych and this is also the family of Treve.

Nutan: new Group 1 winner for Duke Of Marmalade

euro racing Jurgen Imm’s Nutan made the most of their absence to win the race unchallenged by 5l on only his fourth career start.

The Peter Schiergen-trained son of Duke Of Marmalade had broken his maiden by 7l in May, but seemed to have his limits exposed when only third in the Group 2 Union Rennen behind the Derby favourite Shimrano and Areo.

He turned this form around completely and after racing prominently throughout quickened away from his rivals in the straight. As usual at Hamburg it was not an entirely satisfactory race as those who came across to the stands’ side in the straight, a group which included Shimrano, were never on terms at all.

But the form is not bad at all as the second Palace Prince had been awarded a Listed race at Compèigne on his previous start.

Nutan is the third foal and second Group 1 winner produced by the Peintre Celebre mare Neele as her first foal Nymphea, a daughter of Dylan Thomas, won the Grosser Preis von Berlin and finished placed in the Group 2 Prix Corrida.

Neele, who was Group placed herself, has a filly yearling and foal by Holy Roman Emperor and Camelot.

Imm also owns and bred one of the antepost favourites for the Preis der Diana in the trial winner Nightflower, who was beaten only 4l when eighth in the Prix de Diane.

Nightflower is a daughter of Dylan Thomas out of Night Of Magic, a full-sister to Neele the dam of Nutan.

Nightflower’s principle rivals in the August Group 1 look to be Nymeria, Anna Katharina and Lovelyn who all won trials on their final starts before the big race. Nymeria, a daughter of Soldier Hollow trained by Waldemar Hickst, looked to improve when stepping up to 1m2f to win a Listed race at Dusseldorf at the end of June having finished second in the German 1,000 Guineas earlier in the year.

Gestüt Röttgen’s Anna Katharina, a daughter of Kallisto from the famous Anna Paolo family, maintained her progress with a comfortable win in a Group 3 over 1m3f at Hamburg.

Röttgen and trainer Markus Klug have another possible Diana filly in Damour, a daughter of Azamour who won a valuable sales race at Hamburg over a mile but who is likely to improve over a longer trip.

However, at this stage, the leading

German-trained contender looks to be Gestüt Iltingen’s Lovelyn, a daughter of Tiger Hill and a full-sister to the Japan Cup winner Lando.

The Schiergen-trained filly had looked very brave when getting up in the last stride to win the Oaks d’Italia in May and improved again on that performance to beat older horses and colts in a Group 2 at Hamburg over 1m4f.

Helped by a strong early pace Lovelyn came past most of the field in the short straight to defeat the Group 1 winner Sirius and Kaldera narrowly but surely.

If there is a strong pace at Dusseldorf, always more than likely in Germany, Lovelyn will be hard to best in the final European Classic of 2015.

AQPS showcasing jumping talent

A

ll eyes will be firmly fixed on Deauville this August as the European yearling sales season gets under way, but for those, however, with NH interests and who prefer Cheltenham to Chantilly, there are two AQPS shows also to be held in France this summer.

The first is at Decize on Friday, August 28 with a second sale at Lion D’Angers on Friday, September 18 where a number of foals and two-year-olds are due to be sold.

The shows themselves are not actually sales in a traditional sense, but act as a showcase for the breed and all purchases are private agreements between breeders and buyers. A catalogue is produced for each show detailing the exact pedigrees of the entries. Since 2005, the AQPS horse has had a separate stud book.

AQPS (Autre Que Pur Sang (other than thoroughbred)) horses have enjoyed memorable success not just in France but also in Britain and Ireland in recent years and Grade 1 winners in 2015, include dual King George VI Chase winner Silviniaco Conti, 13time multiple Grade 1 winner Un de Sceaux, Uxizandre, who gave Tony McCoy his final Cheltenham victory in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase and Valseur Lido, successful in two Irish Grade 1s.

The shows are organised by the AQPS owners and breeders association, which has been in existence since the early 20th century, working together with France Galop and the French Racing and Breeding Committee, (FRBC) promotes these shows in France and abroad.

It is also common for British and Irish trainers to be invited to judge at each event and many leading NH trainers and bloodstock agents from each country attend year on year.

AQPS runners in the top races in Britain and Ireland are no longer an exception. When AQPS-bred Mon Mome won the Grand National in 2009 he became the first French-bred in over 100 years to win the race, but that success was replicated in 2012 by Neptune Collonges and again two years later by Pineau de Re, both also AQPS horses. Sadly, the most-accomplished AQPS horse of all, Kauto Star died in a paddock accident in June.

Other notable recent AQPS winners include Champion Chase (G1) winners Sprinter Sacre and Sire Du Grugy, multiple Cheltenham winner Quevega, while Vroum Vroum Mag, a two-year-old winner at the AQPS show in Decize in 2011, is unbeaten and is now a Grade 2 winner for the Willie Mullins stable.

The bloodstock world looks forward to Frankel’s first yearlings

S US racing continues to capitalise on the achievements of American Pharoah, it would seem that away from the track the bloodstock sector of the industry has further reason to smile given the performance of the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July Sale, the traditional curtain raiser to the yearling sales calendar.

Although last year’s top mark of $550,000 wasn’t threatened, the sale posted significant improvements in every other key area.

Led by a $500,000 Tapit filly, 205 yearlings changed hands for a total of $20,005,000, up 31 per cent from 2014.

The average rose for the fourth consecutive year, on this occasion by four per cent to $97,585, while the median increased ten per cent to $77,000. Seven yearlings sold for $300,000 or more compared to five in 2014.

The Kentucky July Sale has long acted as an anticipated showcase for first-crop sires and this year was no different with 23 freshman stallions accounting for 97 of the 332-strong catalogue.

Among them were young heavyweights such as Bodemeister, The Factor and Union Rags but, unsurprisingly, it was the more proven names who dominated the top end of the market.

The sole yearling offered by champion sire Tapit, who is once again dominating the leading sire standings thanks to the winners of over $9.5 million, was always likely to command plenty of attention and so it proved – agent Steven Young pushed all the way to $500,000 to secure the youngster on behalf of an undisclosed client.

The filly in question was bred and sold

by Gainesway Thoroughbreds in Kentucky, which stands Tapit for $300,000. A flashy, forward type who is reportedly one of 18 Tapit

fillies that Gainesway have to sell this season, she is the third foal out of French Dip, whose three wins included the 2010 Hilbys Brite Flight Stakes at Aqueduct.

In turn, French Dip is a Speightstown daughter of Grade 1 Humana Distaff Handicap heroine Mayo On The Side.

The sale also played host to two spectacular pin-hooks in a Scat Daddy colt, who sold for $385,000, and a Blame colt who sold for $335,000.

The Scat Daddy colt was pin-hooked for $90,000 out of last year’s Keeneland November Sale by Florent Couturier of the Kentucky-based Redmon Farm to act as a companion for one of their home-bred weanling colts!

Scat Daddy’s popularity has gained further ground since then, primarily on an international basis thanks to runaway Queen Mary Stakes winner Acapulco and a slew of

us news Chilean Group 1 performers, and with the colt reportedly having thrived, he went on to turn a good profit when selling to yearling pin-hooker Jim Crupi of Crupi’s New Castle Farm for $385,000.

The colt also boasted a recognised international pedigree – bred in Kentucky

by Commonwealth, he is out of the Listedwinning Sadler’s Wells mare Starbourne, who was trained by Aidan O’Brien to run third in the 2002 Irish 1,000 Guineas. He is from the further family of this year’s Australian Group winner Gust Of Wind.

The Blame colt was picked up by Floridabased Tami Bobo of First Finds for just $20,000 as a weanling. A half-brother to a minor winner and out of the winning Deputy Minister mare Private Opinion, a half-sister to English Listed winner Wasseema, he proved far more popular second time around, selling for $335,000 to Ellen Charles of Hillwood Stables.

While established sires accounted for the top nine lots, there were several strong showings from the various first-crop stallions.

Among those with more than one sold it was Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile winner Tapizar, who stands alongside his sire Tapit at Gainesway Farm, who led the way thanks to seven who fetched an average of $168,000.

Five yearlings belonging to the first crop of WinStar Farm’s Bodemeister, who shares his sire Empire Maker with Pioneerof The Nile, realised an average of $150,000, while The Factor and Union Rags returned averages of $144,000 and $111,250 respectively.

The sole yearling by Spendthrift Farm’s $4,500 stallion Dominus, a colt, sold for $250,000, while three yearlings by Hansen, who was banished to Korea following a single season, realised an average of $85,667.

With $7,500 stallion Dialed In also returning a strong average of $135,400 for

O

five sold, it would appear that the 2013 intake of US stallions has the early makings of a strong one, commercially at least.

The third renewal of the Fasig-Tipton’s Summer Selected Horses of Racing Age Sale understandably failed to match the pace set by the 2014 edition, when the powerful Eugene Melnyk dispersal took centre stage, but it again confirmed that it has a welcome place in the US sales calendar.

Of the 96 horses offered, 65 sold for a total of $3,996,000 and average of $61,477, which represented a drop of 20.5 per cent

from 2014.

However, the median rose 37 per cent to $48,000.

This year’s New York Oaks winner Temper Mint Patty, a daughter of Congrats sold by Bluewater Sales, topped proceedings selling for $350,000 to Jacob West. The agent was acting on behalf of owner Mike Repole, who plans to send his new recruit to Todd Pletcher.

West Point Thoroughbreds, meanwhile, went to $270,000 for the 2014 Grade 3 American Derby winner Divine Oath.

n the track, the world waits for the day when Triple Crown hero American Pharoah makes his return to the races. Trainer Bob Baffert has pencilled in the $1 million William Hill Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park on August 2 as his next start and the odds must be very short that American Pharoah will hand his trainer an impressive eighth winner of the race following the successes of Point Given, War Emblem, Roman Ruler, Lookin At Lucky, Coil, Paynter and Bayern.

Yet the year hasn’t just been about American Pharoah, the current star among the three-yearold fillies Lady Eli has made her mark, although she has been hit by laminitis in the last month.

Chad Brown’s filly thrilled her fans on July 4 when the impressive winner of the Belmont Oaks Invitational to take her record to a perfect six out of six. Itsonlyactingdad was well beaten into second, while the Aidan O’Brien-trained Outstanding, a sister to Magician, took third.

Sadly, following her victory in the Belmont Oaks, according to connections, Lady Eli stepped on a nail with her left front foot walking back to Brown’s barn from the test barn. The nail was removed, but about a week later Lady Eli began showing laminitic changes in her right fore, which she had been favouring. Afterwards, the left foot also began showing signs of laminitis. Let’s hope for a successful outcome.

Bred by Runnymede Farm and Catesby W. Clay, Lady Eli is the best performer to date sired

by Airdrie Stud’s Divine Park. She is a half-sister to Grade 3 winner Bizzy Caroline and out of the winning Saint Ballado mare Sacre Coeur, a halfsister to Grade 2 winner Changing Ways.

This is a family which has served Runnymede Farm particularly well since Lady Eli’s second dam is the Green Dancer mare Kazadancoa, also the ancestress of top European Runnymede graduates Palace Episode and Laughing Lashes.

While she has been doing her bit to showcase Divine Park, whose first three crops number a small group of 127 foals, another Aidrie Stud stallion Include is enjoying his time in the sun as the sire of the wide-margin Mother Goose Stakes heroine Include Betty.

Co-bred and campaigned by Airdrie Stud owner Brereton C. Jones, the filly is the fifth North American Grade 1 winner for her sire, a rare member of the Ack Ack sire line. Incidentally, every one of those five Grade 1 winners are fillies.

Also among this year’s list of Grade 1 sires is Sought After whose son Masochistic took the Triple Bend Stakes at Santa Anita. The unraced Sought After, by Seeking The Gold, stands for just $2,000 at Daehling Ranch in California.

Not only that, Masochistic, who was bred in California by Francoise Dupuis and Louise Julian, is his sole Graded stakes winner and the product of a family in which the first three dams are all unraced.

try my best sire line

Worth the wait

Try My Best: things did not turn out to be hugely successful for him as a three-year-old or as a stallion, but he is developing an important sire-line in Europe www.racingfotos.com

Nearly 40 years on from Try My Best’s disappointing Guineas run, his descendants are beginning to make a huge impact at stud

T

he development of a sire line has often proved to be a very unpredictable affair, the continuation of a dynasty frequently by-passing the logical heirs apparent for some seemingly lesser light, writes Alan Porter.

There’s nothing new in this, of course. In fact, if we trace current male lines back to the dawn of the breed we find that around 95 per cent of them go back to the Darley Arabian. But it is not through, as would have been expected his undefeated son Flying Childers, oft cited as the first great racehorse in thoroughbred history, but to that horse’s brother, Bartlett’s Childers. His alternative name Bleeding Childers informs us of the infirmity that saw him unraced.

Flying Childers, by way of some consolation, stands at the head of a sire line that lead to Messenger, the foundation

El Gran Senor: Try My Best’s full-brother was a better sire, but he also had fertility issues

sire of the standard bred.

Similar vagaries are to be found in the branch of Northern Dancer that leads to Dark Angel, a horse who has quickly established himself as Europe’s leading young speed sire.

Dark Angel descends from Northern Dancer via Try My Best, a son of the great foundation mare, Sex Appeal.

Bred in the US by E.P. Taylor, and trained in Ireland by Vincent O’Brien for owner Robert Sangster, Try My Best went three-forthree at two. His victories in the Larkspur Stakes (G3) and Dewhurst Stakes (G1) earned him a title as champion two-year-old in England and Ireland.

A comfortable 2l winner of the Vauxhall Trial Stakes (G3) on his three-year-old debut, Try My Best started as even-money favourite for the 2,000 Guineas (G1). Ill at ease on the soft ground, he finished a tailed-off 19 of 19 behind long-shot winner Roland Gardens.

Further disappointment followed at stud.

Syndicated for $6,000,000, Try My Best suffered from fertility problems, particularly in the early stages of his career – his first three crops produced only 48 foals.

All told, he sired 390 foals in 15 crops, including a handful of starters in Japan where he was sent at the age of 17. Twenty-nine of his progeny won stakes races, but only two, Last Tycoon and My Best Valentine, were successful in Group or Grade 1 events.

S

ix years younger than Try My Best, his full-brother El Gran Senor ran for the same team as Try My Best. An undefeated champion at two, El Gran Senor won the 2,000 Guineas (G1), but was narrowly beaten in the Epsom Derby (G1) when sent off favourite, although he rebounded to take the Irish Derby (G1).

At stud, El Gran Senor’s career was similarly blighted by fertility issues, although he was a far better sire than Try My Best getting 54 stakes winners, 34 Group or Graded and 12 Group/Grade 1 winners from 414 foals. The batch included a truly exceptional runner in Rodrigo De Triano.

Three of El Gran Senor’s sons sired Grade 1 winners – in Australia, South Africa and Venezeula – but the sire line has already all but disappeared.

As for Try My Best, unfortunately My Best Valentine, one of the his two Group 1 winners and hero of the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1) at the age of eight, was a gelding. However,

“

Similar vagaries are to be found in the branch of Northern Dancer that leads to Dark Angel, a stallion who has quickly established himself as Europe’s leading young speed sire the versatile Last Tycoon, whose triumphs included the King’s Stand Stakes (G1), the William Hill Sprint Championship (G1) and the Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) had a long and successful career standing in Ireland, Australia – where he was a champion sire – finally before rounding off in Japan.

Overall, Last Tycoon sired 81 stakes winners, 37 Group or Graded, 15 at the highest level, but only O’Reilly, a champion sire in New Zealand, the short-lived Iglesia in Australia and Marju were truly effective sire sons.

O’Reilly has a young Grade 1-siring son Alamosa, while Iglesia produced the over-achieving Written Tycoon, but unless ace miler Ramonti – by the son of Marju Martino Alonso out of an El Gran Senor mare – now standing in Italy comes through, it’s unlucky that Last Tycoon’s male line will continue as a significant presence in the northern-hemisphere.

Waajib, a member of the same Try My Best crop as Last Tycoon, was not anywhere near his sibling’s level as a runner, and took a lot longer to reach his peak.

try my best sire line Waajib’s first stakes win came as a fouryear-old in the Whitsun Cup at Sandown, and he went on to add the Schweppes Golden Mile at Goodwood and the Prix Rond-Point (G3) in the same year. The bay improved again at five taking the Diomed Stakes (G3) and then upset the race fancy Soviet Star in the Queen Anne Stakes (G2).

Like Last Tycoon, Waajib spent time at stud in Ireland, Australia and Japan. He retired with a lot less fanfare than his paternal half-brother, and didn’t have anything like the success, although he did get 19 stakes winners, eight Group or Graded, and just two Group or Grade 1.

Starting his career alongside Last Tycoon under the Coolmore banner in 1988, he was exported to Shadai Stud in 1995 and for four seasons shuttled from there to Australia.

He was in the course of being repatriated to Ireland when he suffered a fatal accident at Amsterdam airport.

By some way the best of Waajib’s offspring was Royal Applause, the only one of his sire’s offspring who came close to having the credentials to extend the line.

Far more precocious than his sire, Royal

try my best sire line Applause went four-for-four at two with victories in the Coventry Stakes (G3), the Gimcrack Stakes (G2) and the Middle Park Stakes (G1), particularly impressing at Newmarket where he scored by 4l.

After this spectacular start, Royal Applause’s second season was a significant anti-climax. A distant tenth of 13 in the 2,000 Guineas (G1) confirmed his stamina limitations, and his sole success that season came with a neck score in a conditions race at Doncaster, an effort sandwiched by comprehensive defeats in the King’s Stand Stakes (G2) and Haydock Sprint Cup (G1).

At this stage, it appeared that Royal Applause was simply a precocious two-yearold who had failed to train on.

Fortunately, however, Royal Applause remained in training at four, and compiled a season that cast him in a totally different light. The year began with daylight wins in the Cammidge Trophy, Duke of York Stakes and Cork and Orrery Stakes (G3).

Upset by 50-1 shot Compton Place when a short-priced favourite for the July Cup (G1), Royal Applause rebounded to account for Danetime in the Haydock Sprint Cup (G1).

His final two starts saw him finish a close third in the Prix de l’Abbaye (G1) and last in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) after failing to adapt to US starting stalls and the Dirt surface.

Despite losing his last two races, Royal Applause had done enough earlier in the season to earn an official ranking of top older sprinter on the International Classification, and as champion older sprinter in Europe.

Retired to the Royal Studs, Royal Applause has proved to be a solid stakes sire, with 45 black-type winners, 18 of them Group or Graded.

I

ronically, in view of Royal Applause’s disastrous run in the Breeders’ Cup, and his sprinting aptitude, three of his best runners have raced in the US, and have done well at a mile or more.

Ticker Tape, her sire’s only winner at the highest level, took three graded stakes including the American Oaks (G1) and Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes (G1), Battle Of Hastings won four graded events, including the Virginia Derby (G2) and Colonial Turf Cup (G2), and Whatsthescript was successful in trio of graded contests, including the Del Mar Mile Handicap (G2)

Acclamation is a “prolific sire of fast and precocious horses”, his best runners wanting less than 7f

Retired to the Royal Studs, Royal Applause has proved to be a solid stakes sire, with 45 black-type winners, 18 of them Group or Graded

and American Handicap (G2).

More significant, as far as the extension of the male-line has been concerned, has been his son Acclamation.

He didn’t quite reach Royal Applause’s level of performance, but was somewhat similar in aptitude and career trajectory.

He didn’t win a black-type event at two, but did capture the valuable St. Leger Yearling Stakes, worth £200,000.

Acclamation ran just twice at three, collecting third placings in the Diadem Stakes (G2) and Listed Bentinck Stakes, but, like his sire, he rebounded from a relatively unproductive second season in better form as a four-year-old.

He won three races, including the Diadem Stakes (G2) and Starlit Stakes (L), finished second to Choisir in the King’s Stand Stakes (G2), with Oasis Dream in third, and then third to Oasis Dream in the Nunthorpe Stakes

(G1) and Temple Stakes (G2).

At stud, Acclamation has been a prolific sire of fast and precocious horses, his leading runners almost exclusively showing best at 7f or less.

To date Acclamation has been represented by 31 stakes winners, 11 of them Group or Graded winners, with no less than 14 of his stakes winners (seven Group or Graded) coming from his 2009 crop, a direct result of the mares attracted the previous year by the bright start that he made with his first crop two-year-olds.

It was from his first crop that has produced Acclamation’s best two runners so far, Equiano and Dark Angel.

Equiano made history in the 2008 King’s Stand Stakes (G1) becoming the first Spanish-trained horse to win at Royal Ascot.

He endured a barren season the following year at four, but, following a wind operation, rebounded in fine style to add a second King’s Stand, as well as taking the Palace House Stakes (G3) and Abernant Stakes.

Equiano kicked off his stud career with the Firth of Clyde Stakes (G3) winner Dark Reckoning, the Group 3 winner Strath Burn and Lola Beaux in his first crop. His second crop are two-year-olds of 2015, and he’s already been represented by Fly On The Night, successful in the Premio Alessandro Perrone in Italy and the Prix du Bois (G3) in France.

Dark Angel made nine starts as a twoyear-old, winning four races including the

Right from the get-go and his first crop of runners, Dark Angel has set his stall out as a stakes race producer and as a sire of good two-year-olds Equiano: his top performer, the 102-rated Strath Burn, won the Group 3 Hackwood Stakes in July

£300,000 St. Leger Yearling Stakes, the Mill Reef Stakes (G2) and the Middle Park Stakes (G1).

A ninth of ten behind New Approach in the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) confirmed that Dark Angel would not be a Guineas type, and with the prospect of carrying a Group 1 winners’ penalty in sprints the following season, the decision was taken to accept an offer from Morristown Lattin Stud. Dark Angel began his stud career at three.

While the decision to have retired him at the end of his juvenile career may have stirred some controversy at the time, it’s hard to argue that it was not a shrewd one.

Right from his first crop, Dark Angel came up with seven stakes winners, headed

by Lethal Force, successful in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes (G1), July Cup (G1) and Hungerford Stakes (G2), Lily’s Angel, winner of four black-type events, including the Chartwell Stakes (G3), and the Hackwood Stakes (G3) scorer Heeraat, who is now at stud himself.

Dark Angel’s second crop supplied three

try my best sire line more stakes winners, including the July Stakes (G2) scorer Alhebayeb, while from his third crop came the World Trophy (G3) and Prix de Saint-Georges (G3) winner Mecca’s Angel and Exogenesis, successful in the Tyro Stakes (G3).

Green Desert: Dark Angel and the partiarch of Shadwell Stud are getting on very well together.

Although Green Desert is primarily an influence for speed, his sons Cape Cross and Desert Style have got more than capable middle-distance runners.

It will be interesting to see how things develop for him with Dark Angel

“

As far as breeding patterns are concerned Dark Angel has already established a strong affinity for Danzig

The fourth crop by Dark Angel are threeyear-olds of 2015 and already include the Group winners Estidhkaar, Stormfly and Markaz.

At time of writing, Dark Angel’s 2015 juvenile crop was also off to a fast start with 17 winners, among them the course recordbreaking Superalative Stakes (G2) winner Birchwood, and Listed scorers Promised Money and Bronze Maquette.

As far as breeding patterns are concerned Dark Angel has already established a strong affinity for Danzig – Lethal Force is out of a mare by Desert Style, Heeraat out of a mare

by Desert Style’s sire Green Desert, while Estidhkaar is out of a mare by Danetime and Exogenesis from a daughter of Key Of Luck.

This is a predilection that seems to run with the sire line as two of Equiano’s three Group winners are out of mares by Green Desert and Oasis Dream, while Acclamation sired Group 2 winner Lilbourne Lad out of a mare by Green Desert.

Royal Applause has Group winners out of mares by Dayjur and Sheikh Albadou, and stakes winners out of daughters of Green Desert, Danetime and Grand Lodge, while another son Majestic Missile has stakes winners from mares by Danzig sons Elnadim and Mull of Kintyre.

From other branches of the Northern Dancer line, Dark Angel has Stormfly from a daughter of Lomitas (Niniski, from the Nijinsky branch), stakes-winning and Group 1-placed Sovereign Debt out of a mare by Most Welcome (Be My Guest), and Boomshackerlacker out of a mare by Barathea (Sadler’s Wells).

Out of mares by Indian Ridge, Dark Angel has Alhebayeb and the Italian stakes winner Dark Ray. A line now not particularly well represented, that of Sing Sing’s branch of Tudor Minstrel, has supplied the dams of three Dark Angel stakes winners – the siblings Mecca’s Angel and Markaz (from a mare by Atraf, a son of the Music Boy horse, Clantime), and the Italian black-type winner Pride and Joy, out of a mare by the Song stallion, Fayruz.

Dark Angel is out of a Mr. Prospector line mare, and he already has two stakes winners out of mares from that same sire line – last year’s juvenile scorer Bronze Maquette (out of mare by Gone West son, Proud Ciitizen) and Delizia, the first stakes winner from his

current juvenile crop, who is out of a mare

by Whipper, a son of Kingmambo’s brother Miesque’s Son. Dark Angel’s Group-winning and Group 1-placed Lily’s Angel is out of a mare by Docksider, by Diesis, from the family of Sadler’s Wells and Nureyev, and there are also Dark Angel stakes winners out of mares

by Mtoto, Tagula and Groom Dancer.

The mention above of the sire line’s affinity for Green Desert gives cause for consideration as to whether Dark Angel or other members of this sire line have the potential to emulate an important transition that some of Green Desert’s sons have achieved.

Green Desert was a sprinter, and primarily an influence for speed, but despite that his sons Invincible Spirit and Oasis Dream –

“

Lethal Force: a dual 6f Group 1 winner, his pace stretched out to 7f in the Hungerford Stakes (G3)

both sprinters – and Cape Cross and Desert Style – both milers – have proved more than capable of getting top-class middle-distance runners.

In this respect, although Dark Angel, Acclamation and Royal Applause were speed merchants, the sire line itself presents some enigmas.

Try My Best was a brother to an Irish Derby winner, and yet seemed to be predominantly a speed influence. His best son Last Tycoon, out of a stoutly-bred Mill Reef mare, won two Group 1s at 5f, but sired several runners who had top-class form at 1m2f and 1m4f.

W

aajib by Try My Best out of a stoutly-bred mare – his first two dams were

by Sassafras and Ragusa, whose triumphs included a Prix du Jockey-Club, a French St. Leger, an Irish Derby and an English St. Leger – was a miler whose Group/ Graded-winning offspring generally did better over a little further.

The two best by Waajib exhibited dramatically different aptitudes: Royal Applause did not get a yard over 6f, yet Apache King won the 2m Adelaide Cup (G1)!

44

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

If the line is to ‘do a Green Desert’, it’s more likely to be down to either Dark Angel or Equiano siring a top-class miler who becomes a prospective middle-distance Classic sire A major portion of the credit for Royal Applause’s pace must go to his dam Flying Melody, a daughter of Auction Ring from the family of the brilliant sprinter Pappa Fourway.

She produced the Dewhurst Stakes (G1) winner In Command to Sadler’s Wells, while to the cover of Sadler’s Wells’s brother Tate Gallery she came up with Lyric Fantasy, a juvenile sensation who took the Nunthorpe Stakes (G1) at two.

As we’ve seen, as a stallion Royal Applause

defied his background with several of his best horses scoring at a mile and over.

Acclamation, his best sprinting son, doubled down on the speed aspect of the pedigree as he’s out of the Princess Mary Stakes (G3) winner Princess Athena, a daughter of the very rapid Ahonoora. His second dam is by the exceptional sprinter, Floribunda, out of a half-sister to the sprinter, Hard Tack.

Not surprisingly, Acclamation, has been almost exclusively an influence for speed.

Acclamation has four sons at stud – Dark Angel, Equiano, the Railway Stakes (G2) winner and Middle Park Stakes (G1) and Gimcrack Stakes (G2) second Lilbourne Lad, as well as the Richmond Stakes (G2) victor Harbour Watch.

It’s hard to envisage any of these getting top-class middle-distance horses. If the line is to “do a Green Desert”, it’s more likely to be down to either Dark Angel or Equiano siring a top-class miler who becomes a prospective middle-distance Classic sire, in much the same way that Cape Cross has performed for Green Desert.

Equiano did win over 7f, and he is out of an Ela-Mana-Mou mare who placed over 1m4f, with second and third dams by Kris and Secretariat.

The question here is whether he will receive mile or middle-distance mares with sufficient class to have a good shot at getting a quality performer who can stretch out?

Dark Angel has now reached a fee point where he will get to see that type of mare. He has a speedy distaff pedigree – his granddam, the Night Shift mare Night At Sea, won the Sandown Sprint Stakes, while his broodmare sire Machiavellian displayed considerable versatility as a stallion.

Although Dark Angel has generally been a speed influence, he has already sired a high-class mile filly in Lily’s Angel who was beaten only a half-length in the Matron Stakes (G1) at that distance.

He has crossed successfully with some stouter broodmare sires, and it’s certainly not inconceivable that he could sire a top miler.

We should note that his first stallion son Lethal Force was able to stretch his speed 7f to defeat Strong Suit for the Hungerford Stakes (G3).

It’s certainly not impossible that some 40 years on we might see a son or grandson of Dark Angel with a realistic shot of making amends for Try My Best’s 2,000 Guineas (G1) debacle.

D

eauville in August has been part of the international sales season for many years.

From a distance the August sale might have the look of a regular feature, but it doesn’t take a great deal of analysis to see that it has changed a great deal in recent years.

This year is the tenth August sale under the Arqana banner and there can be little doubt that during the sales company’s first decade the quality of yearlings on offer in August has risen significantly, a quick look at the races won by the sale’s graduates confirms this is the case.

Mirroring this transformation are the names on the list of leading vendors. During the Arqana years the Haras des Monceaux has become the perennial leading vendor with others such as the Coulonces Consignment and La Motteraye becoming firmly established in the top ten.

This is the first year that the Haras du Lieu des Champs has presented a draft in August, and the stud’s new owner Richard Powell is certainly aiming to become another edition to the leading lists in August and at other major sales.

“My vision for the stud,” he explains, “is to turn it into a commercial operation, and one at the top end of the market. I would like to have a draft of up to 15 at each of the major sales and to prepare them all here on the stud with our own staff, I have always thought it is difficult to manage when you have new staff arriving for the sales preparation season.”

Powell has made an excellent start since taking over the farm founded by his father David Powell in the early 1980s. His first draft at the Arqana October sale in 2014 included

The colt has been named Barwood and is in training with Andre Fabre.

“I haven’t heard in any detail how he is doing,” says Powell.

“I am told that Monsieur Fabre likes him and that the colt may run in Deauville in August. A win before the sale would certainly not do any harm,” he laughs.

For the 2015 August sale Lieu Des Champs has six in the main catalogue and a further two in the following V2 sale.

The first to go through the ring is a colt from the first crop of Nathaniel out of the champion racemare Aquarelliste. Powell describes the yearling as “a good colt who is progressing well during preparation and if he continues to develop as we expect he will look good on the day of the sale.”

Powell is one of the three sons of David Powell, an American who moved to France in the early 1970s.

“My father came to France initially to do a training course at the French National Stud, which at the time had an international reputation,” explains Powell Jnr. “He was also helped by Pierre Bellocq, the Frenchman who has been drawing cartoons for racing publications in the US for decades.”

Bellocq himself takes over the story. “At the time [the late 1960s] I was the artistic director of a racing newspaper in the US. “One day this very scruffy student came into my office to tell me that he was very interested in racing and knew a lot about pedigrees.

Family Powell: left to right, Leonard who trains in the US, Freddy, who is a director at Arqana, father and NH breeder David, and Richard

This year we sent only three mares abroad to be covered, but received far more than that here – it is an extraordinary turnaround from the situation only four or five years ago actually been to the races! I said I would take him to Belmont.

“On the day he was looking as scruffy as ever and so to avoid being seen with him too much I told him to spend the day in the jockeys’ room and to write a paper about the US jockeys of the time.

“The paper was good, well written and interesting and so I sent it to my friends at Paris Turf. It turned out that they were looking for someone to write for them about US racing and so David got the job. We are still close friends today and I am very proud of having helped him on his way and of what he has achieved since.”

Once ariving in France, David Powell never left. He worked on various studs, and for a time he stood stallions at what is now the Haras de la Cauvinière, and worked at the Haras de Saint Pair du Mont when Saint Estephe and No Pass No Sale stood there.

He has become a major player in the market for NH horses and as the racing manager of Magalen Bryant has purchased

and bred a string of top-class jumpers and Flat horses, including this year’s Grand Steeple de Paris winner Milord Thomas.

Powell Snr bought what is now the Haras du Lieu de Champs in the early 1980s.

“My brothers Leonard and Freddy were born earlier, but I was brought up on the stud,” says Powell Jnr. “My parents actually bought a rundown dairy cattle farm, there was no electricity, and they developed the stud.”

In 2013, Powell bought the stud from his father and took over its management.

“I had a clear vision for the stud’s future and knew that it would be easier to carry this out on my own and not as a family business.

“And my brothers are already well established on their own paths. Leonard always wanted to be a trainer, he is now based in California, and Freddy was always drawn to the bloodstock side and of the business and is a director of Arqana.

“My step-brother Arnaud Delacour is a

trainer in the US as well and trained the third in this year’s Preakness Stakes.”

Under David Powell the Haras du Lieu des Champs was a private stud raising primarily jumping horses for clients.

“My father did raise the 2,000 Guineas winner Pennekamp on the farm as well,” adds Powell. “Pennekamp was bred by Magalen Bryant in the US, but he came here as a foal, was raised and then sold, for not a great deal, as a yearling in Deauville.

“On taking over the farm, I had a formal meeting with my father’s clients and they agreed to stay with me, some have even sent extra mares to the farm to help.

“There are 45 permanent boarders and we keep mares here for the breeding season as well. This year we sent only three mares abroad to be covered, but received far more than that here – it is an extraordinary turnaround from the situation only four or five years ago.

“During my father’s time three-quarters of the mares on the farm were jumping mares, whereas my aim is end up with a 50/50 split between jumping and Flat mares.”

Although Powell was always convinced that he was going to run the stud, he gained plenty of other experience before moving back to Normandy and Lieu des Champs, which is close to both the Haras des Monceaux and the Aga Khan’s Haras de Bonneval and around a half-hour’s drive south of Deauville.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

lieu des champs “My father started to send me away to learn elsewhere from the age of 12. I have worked for several different trainers from Niel Drysdale in California to Arthur Moore in Ireland, and have also spent time with Jacques Ortet and Stefan Wattel in Deauville.

“I had a year working on Jean Pierre Dubois’s Normandy stud farm – I lost more than a stone in weight there! He is, though, someone you learn something from every day.”

The only time Powell began to reconsider his long term goal was when he was working at Widden Stud in Australia.

“I did seriously consider moving to Australia and making my life there. At the time my girlfriend was a medical student and we looked into to whether it would be possible to transfer her studies over there, but it was just too complicated and I came back to France. I married her later so it was a good decision!”

For five years before taking over the stud Powell also worked for the feed company Spillers.

“It was a great experience. I was paid to travel all over Europe to visit stud farms and ask managers and owners of every different type how they ran their farm,” he says.

Like every other commercial stud in France, the renaissance of the domestic stallion business has been a game changer.

Only five years after David Powell suggested in a Paris Turf article that it had become impossible to imagine how the stallion business in France could be revived, a view which nearly all of those involved would have shared, there are now several proven international sires in France, attracting mares from abroad and whose progeny bring buyers to France as well.

“There has,” Powell reasons, “been a change of generations in the breeding world in France and what we need to achieve now is something similar in the racing world.

“There too many meetings like Deauville in the winter when the only people on the track are the travelling head lads and stable staff. We have to find a way of creating a buzz around racing in France.”

It is fair to say that the prospect of creating an atmosphere similar to that at leading English meetings in France seems remote today, but then when change comes it often surprises all of those involved in the activity.

For the time being Powell is concentrating on more concrete matters, and above all on getting his yearlings in prime condition for the sales in Deauville this August.

rench-trained winners at Royal Ascot are a frequent if not exactly common occurrence. This century French-based trainers have won a dozen or so races at the meeting and this year there were three – Solow for Freddy Head, Ervedya for Jean-Claude Rouget and Suits You for Eoghan O’Neill.

Of the three the most surprising was Suits You, not because he was trained by O’Neill, but because he is a two-year-old.

French-based trainers do not win many two-year-old races at Royal Ascot – we may have to be corrected but, as far as we can see from the records, the last one was the great filly Coronation, who won the Queen Mary Stakes in 1948 for Marcel Boussac and trainer Charles Semblat. She went on to win the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and the Arc de Triomphe the following year, as well finish runner-up in both the English and Irish Oaks.

There have been many exceptional twoyear-old trainers in France, François Boutin and Etienne Pollet among others, but few have even attempted to win juvenile races at Royal Ascot.

It may be more a of a quirk of the programme than a significant failing, but when Pollet and Boutin were training the Prix Robert Papin was a Group 1 and an obvious target for a precocious two-yearold in France. However, it takes a leap of imagination for any trainer based in France to decide to aim a two-year-old at Ascot.

“He showed plenty before Christmas,” Eoghan O’Neill says of Suits You, “and when he was still showing plenty in February and I realised he was qualified to run in the Chesham Stakes, which is restricted to the progeny of stallions who won over 1m2f or further, I decided to aim him at the race.

“I have a filly in the yard called Spanish Romance who is faster, but I knew Suits You was going to get a trip and I took a risk running him over 6f first time out.”

It was a risk and one which looked like ending with an unlucky defeat when he was in last at Maisons-Laffitte with less than 2f to run and no room in which to make a challenge. But, when the son of Youmzain finally got clear, he quickened impressively to win by a length and a half in the hands of Cristian Demuro.

There were 12 runners in the 7f Chesham Stakes, including well-backed horses trained

Trainer Eoghan O’Neill (top left), whose long-term plan for Suits You (bottom left), described by O’Neill as a “gorgeous yearling”, came off when the son of Youmzain won the Chesham Stakes (right)

the only one dreaming about Suits You as the colt, who raced in the colours of his wife Melissa, started at only 14-1.

Once again he nearly lost his chance through bad luck in running as he was carried across the track behind rivals at a crucial stage. And yet once again when Suits You got clear he quickened to catch the long-time leader Sixth Sense and then held the late challenge of the O’Brien-trained Ballydoyle,

a subsequent wide margin winner at the Newmarket July Meeting, to win by a short head.

Suits You is a horse with a huge potential being a two-year-old stakes winner over 7f in June, and by a stallion who put up his best performances over 1m4f at three, four and five and six famously finishing second in three Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes behind Dylan Thomas, Zarkava and Sea The Stars.

Suits fitted perfectly

For his trainer the gamble or dream has already paid off. Suits You, who was owned and raced by a partnership between Melissa O’Neill and A Solomon, has been sold and will continue his career in Hong Kong, while the stable has already grown as a direct result of the win.

“Suits You was bred and sold as a yearling

The success was a real feather in the cap for his trainer Eoghan O’Neill and the horse’s young sire, the three-time Arc-placed Youmzain couple of two-year-olds by Lope De Vega and Le Havre he had bought at the breeze-ups.”

O’Neill currently has around 40 horses at his stable and private training centre the Haras de Lianger, which is about 30 minutes north of Le Mans, in the south of Normandy.

suits you working for Robert Collet in France and Sir Mark Prescott and John Gosden in England.

He trained in England for nine years, with considerable success winning Group 2 races with Vital Equine, who was also second in the 2.000 Guineas, Silent Times and Always Hopeful but in 2009 he decided to move to France.

“I wanted to own my own stable and property is cheaper in France,” he explains.

“There are a lot of good trainers in France and races are no easier to win here than they are in England, but when you do win you get better rewards.

“I will go anywhere if there is a sniff of a win,” he said on a day he had left home at two in the morning to drive his horses all the way to Divonne les Bains near the Swiss border in the Alps. “We have three runners today who all have a chance and none of whom are good enough to win in Paris. If we win in Divonne we’ll get more than we would do for a maiden in Newmarket where we would have to run against some of the best bred horses in Europe.”

O’Neill’s first seasons in France were very successful. His stable won about 30 races and €800,000 in prize-money in each of his first

suits you three years before having two quieter seasons in 2013 and 2014.

“I specialise in young horses and two-year-olds who I try to buy at a reasonable price, win with and sell on. I discovered that yearlings in France can be expensive, you pay a more to buy horses eligible for the Frenchbred premiums – we have learnt it is better to have a good horse than an ordinary one who is qualified for the premiums.”

He remembers seeing Suits You for the first time at the Osarus sale at La Teste last September.

“Suits You was the only horse I bought at the Osarus sale, although I tried on many others he was the only one who came within my budget of €12,000.

“He was a gorgeous yearling and I went to see him because of his mare. She is by Oasis Dream and ran to a rating of more than 100 when racing over 7f in Ireland. At a sale like Osarus there are lots of yearlings by unfashionable sires such as Youmzain and I make a selection based upon their dams.”

O’Neill is not the only one who remembers being impressed by Suits You at the Osarus sale.

Another admirer was Vincent Rimaud, the manager of the Haras du Quesnay where Youmzain stands.

“Suits You was a very good yearling,” Rimaud says. “Although Youmzain has never got the type of mares likely to produce twoyear-olds his first crop had already produced some two-year-old winners and so we are very hopeful about the stallion’s future.

“Youmzain covered between 80 and 120 mares in each of his first four seasons at stud.

This year he covered less, but then his Group 2 winner Sea Calisi didn’t get going early enough to attract mares this year.

“I am sure he will be busy next year and I am sure his yearlings will be looked at in a different light now that he has produced two top-class horses from his first two crops.”

Aside from Youmzain, Haras du Quesnay also stands the Derby winner Motivator, whose first French crop are yearlings.

Motivator has six yearlings in the Arqana August sale, including four from Quesnay headed by a full-sister to the dual Arc winner Treve.

“She may not be the most beautiful yearling in the sale,” Rimaud says, “but she looks a lot like her sister and, if anything, is better looking than Treve was as a yearling.

“It was not always the plan to offer her at

“

Le Quesnay: decided to offer Treve’s yearling sister as the farm has plenty of female relations

She may not be the most beautiful yearling in the sale, but she looks a lot like her sister and if anything is better looking than Treve was as a yearling auction, but we decided to do so during the spring. Le Quesnay is a business which needs to bring money in sometimes and as Treve’s dam Trevise is still only 15 and we already have two half-sisters to go on with, it was decided to offer Treve’s sister at the August sale.

“There has been plenty of interest in her, but it will be exciting to see her go through a sales ring.”

O’Neill is not yet in a position to offer on a horse such as the sister to a dual Arc winner, but even before Suits You’s sale to Hong Kong, 2015 has been developing into

an excellent season. His stable gathered nine wins before the end of June and has another potential star in the two-year-old Rip Van Winkle filly Spanish Romance, who was purchased by Team Valor after an impressive win at Chantilly in May. “It was my fault she was only sixth in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot,” says O’Neill.

“I told Demuro to follow the American filly Laxfield Road and they went off far too fast together and so she didn’t get home. I think she is top class and she will run in the Prix Morny at Deauville.

“Team Valor has said that she will stay with me until the end of the year and if her season ends up at Keeneland, I would be thrilled to go there for them.”

Before Keeneland and a possible Breeders’ Cup challenge, O’Neill will be looking at the next generation at the yearling sales. This year, particularly with the cash injection brought by Suits You, he will be ready to find the right horses to follow on when Suits You and Spanish Romance have moved to pastures new.

F

reddy Head did not enjoy the beginning of July. A fall from his pony while supervising his string in Chantilly has left him feeling bad, at home with broken ribs and a broken collarbone.

“The pony fell on the hard ground,” he says, “and it has been painful. It is the worst fall I have ever had, in all my years as a jockey I don’t remember ever hurting myself this much.”

The fall, though, is only a short and very temporary setback in Head’s extraordinary sporting career, which is already in its sixth decade.

There have been disappointments and difficulties before but Head has always come back. From the moment he won his first big races as a jockey in the 1960s, right up to Solow’s win in the Queen Anne Stakes in June 2015, he has continued winning the best races.

Head was champion jockey six times in France between 1970 and 1980, he won more than 100 Group and Grade 1 races, four Prix de l’Arc de Triomphes, countless French Classic races, as well as the English 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas and two Breeders’ Cup Miles.

Both the last two races were among the 11 Group and Grade 1 races he won on Miesque for owner Stavros Niarchos and trainer François Boutin.

Head retired from race riding in 1997 and started a second career as a trainer the following season when he described himself as an “old, young trainer.”

Success didn’t come easily, he won only

Freddy Head over heels...

... this summer proving to be something of a mixed bag for the French trainer having had a nasty fall from his pony in July subsequent to Solow’s impressive Royal Ascot Group 1 victory.

Jocelyn de Moubray speaks to Head, whose brilliant riding and training career now spans six decades www.internationalthoroughbred.net

59

freddy head seven races in total in his first season, but then Marchand D’Or, an unfashionably bred gelding came to his yard. Head recorded his first Group 1 winner as a trainer in the Prix Maurice de Gheest in Deauville in 2006.

Since then Head’s horses have won another 34 Group 1s and the string has included some of the best fillies of recent times, Goldikova and Moonlight Cloud, as well as the colts and now stallions Tamayuz and Charm Spirit.

“I was worried, of course I was,” he remembers his first seasons. “I had always wanted to be a trainer and to train top horses, and I have a family and children and needed to do something.

“When I started as a trainer I only had a few, mostly poor horses. People sent me one or two horses to be nice to me, but no good ones, but you must never give up in this game as everything can change in a moment.

“Marchand D’Or appeared and then bang, I was off. You have to stay humble and can never say that you have got everything right.

To be a top trainer you need to have good horses, whoever you are without the horses you can’t do much.”

The 115 horses currently in Head’s Chantilly stables include the Wertheimer brothers’s Solow, the winner of ten of his last 11 starts, including Group 1s on his three last races in Dubai, at Longchamp and in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Solow has a most unusual profile for a top international horse. The gelded son of Singspiel won only one of his five starts as a two and three-year-old, and then only a small

“

To be a top trainer you need to have good horses, whoever you are without the horses you can’t do much maiden at Longchamp over 1m4f.

“I first thought he could be really good when I dropped him back to 1m1f at Clairefontaine last August,” says Head, the horse having previously finished unplaced over nearly two miles.

“He then did something special when winning a Group 3 in Deauville, making all the running and winning by 6l. I didn’t know he was a Group 1 horse, though, until he ran and won the Group 1 in Dubai.”

Head believes that it is only on the racecourse that you can be sure of a horse’s ability.

“I liked Solow as a three-year-old,” he remembers. “He also had a lovely action and he worked well in the mornings, but he had some problems and he was a heavy horse – after we gelded him he changed physically.”

Head has enjoyed plenty of success as a trainer in England winning top races with Goldikova, Charm Spirit as well as with Solow.

“I don’t do anything different when

preparing them to run in England,” he explains. “However, in England there has always been more pace, even when I first started riding there the races were run faster than in France, and to win you have to be really fit. It is my belief that there are plenty of horses running who are not really fit enough to win.”

A

nother feature of his training career has been the extraordinary long careers his best horses have had.

Goldikova maintained her form through 20 races and five years, while Moonlight Cloud’s lasted four seasons and 15 races.

“I look upon the best horses as top athletes,” he says, “and, as long as you don’t discourage them by asking too much too soon, there is no reason why they can’t maintain their peak condition over a long period.

“If they are healthy, have a good heart and good lungs once they are at their best, it is just a question of keeping them there.”

He believes that Goldikova could have won top races as a two-year-old, but he only ran her twice in minor conditions races.

“I didn’t want Goldikova to take on Zarkava too soon,” he explains, “and those two-yearold races on soft or heavy ground are tough. I am very lucky that I have owners who let me do what I want to with their horses.”

“

I think horses have changed, for me the top horses are not as precocious as they used to be is Hamdan Al Maktoum’s three-year-old Dubawi gelding Almanaar.

He was beaten on five of his first six starts at two and three, but has won Listed and Group races on his three latest runs and now has an official rating of 113.

“Almanaar could be a very good horse,” Head says. “He is now happy to run and is getting better and better. He used to be a very nervous horse. He was nervous at the start of his races and nervous in the parade ring before them, whereas now he is saving his nervous energy for the races themselves.”

The wonderful racemare Goldikova

Since May 2014, Solow is unbeaten in seven races and collected the Group 1 Dubai Turf this spring

Watching his horses before their races is, for Head, an important part of his job. “I like to watch my horses carefully in the parade ring and on the way to the start,” he explains.

“I want my horses to be easy to ride, and to settle easily. I think on the whole they are not afraid and they are not stressed.”

Having happy horses is something Head rates very highly.

“During my riding career I rode for all of the top trainers. My grandfather, my father and, of course, my sister [William, Alec and Criquette Head] but also François Mathet, André Fabre and I spent eight years working with François Boutin.

“I was always critical of the trainers and I thought I knew what made horses happy.”

Boutin was clearly a strong influence.

“François was a great trainer and became a very good friend. He was an extraordinary horseman, but he was very disorganised. I try to be very organised, in fact, I am someone who follows a strict routine,” he struggles to find the right word in English, “we would say routinière!

“François used to love to win the top twoyear-old races, but he also used to win with horses such as Miesque, who went on to be top horses at three and four as well.

“This has become rare and I think horses have changed,” Head says. “For me the top horses are not as precocious as they used to be.

“It was perhaps the Northern Dancers who

were both precocious and top class. People sometimes confuse speed with precocity, but I don’t like to run my two-year-olds too soon.

“After all if I run them first time out in July it means they have been working since February.”

He has a two-year-old filly for the Wertheimers called Yakaba, who won first time out at Maisons-Laffitte at the beginning of July.

“I think she could be good,” he says, “and her two-year-old career might even end up in Newmarket, but she won’t run a great deal this year.”

Head has been at the top of the racing world since the 1960s. He won his first Arc de Triomphe as a 19-year-old riding Bon Mot for his grandfather William Head in 1966.

“He was a good horse,” Head remembers, “and I had finished second on him in both the Jockey-Club and the Grand Prix de Paris.

“I think my grandfather continued training just to give me the chance to ride and he was certainly happy to give me the opportunities.”

Today with a full stable and plenty of top-class horses and bright prospects for the future Head, despites sore from his fall, is still full of excitement and desire for future wins.

“I want all the boxes in the yard to be full,” he laughs, “but I wouldn’t want to have any more. Once you get bigger it is a whole different exercise and as long as I have some good horses I am very happy how I am.”

Benoist a man with a contract

or the last fifteen years, Christophe Soumillon’s position as Belgium’s most famous jockey has gone largely unchallenged.

However, that title has now come under threat thanks to the meteoric rise to stardom of fellow countryman Gregory Benoist.

At the age of 32, Gregory Benoist, or Greg as he is known to his friends, might be considered a bit of a late bloomer, yet within the space of just a couple of years he has become one of the most sought-after jockeys in France and beyond.

In fact, already on the radar of the British racing world, thanks to his Classic victories with the filly Avenir Certain in the Poule d’Essai des Pouliches and the Prix de Diane, only a few months ago he made the headlines again when he was appointed first jockey to Al Shaqab Racing in France.

Not that this is his first contract – five years ago the likeable Belgian, who was born into a racing family and who never really wanted to do anything but prove to his father that he too could be a jockey, was snatched up by Gerard Augustin-Normand, one of France’s most enthusiastic owners.

That contract, by the way, still stands and there is a gentleman’s agreement between the founder of the Richelieu Finance Group and Sheikh Joaan that Benoist will always give the Augustin Normand-owned horses first call.

For a kid who grew up in the shadow of a critical father, as well as in the shadow of a gifted colleague who was the French champion jockey by 2003, Benoist hasn’t

Jockey Gregory Benoist is enjoying life as a retained jockey.

Liz Price chats with the man from Belgium who has two of the biggest jobs in France done too badly.

“It’s all about hard work,” is how he modestly describes the reason for his success.

It has been hard work coupled with persistence as he was not exactly encouraged in his quest to become a jockey.

“No,” he smiles. “My father, who was a jockey in Belgium and with whom I used to go racing every weekend when I was a child, was rather against me becoming a jockey. He thought it would be too difficult, that it was not a job for me and that there were only very few people who would do well. So he tried his best to discourage me!”

The racing world, an orbit in which success and accomplishments go hand in hand with defeat, low rewards and worst of all, life-threatening injuries, is a tough

environment at the best of times.

So standing up to the idolised father was not an easy task, especially at the tender and impressionable age of 14. But, as Benoist ponders, “Maybe he discouraged me in order to get the opposite effect?”

He pauses before adding: “Who cares anyway? Today I’m a jockey and I have proven him wrong, so there!”

Shortly after Benoist left Belgium for France, his parents split up and his father followed him to Chantilly where he now works as travelling head lad for Robert Collet.

They are close once more, but Benoist would never ask him why he didn’t believe in him all those years ago.

“Ah, no, I don’t want to know,” he confirms and laughs. “I do know though that he is very proud of me today. He was there when I won the Prix de Diane with Avenir Certain and he was crying when I came back to the winners’ enclosure. It was all very emotional and today he is definitely my biggest fan.”

For Benoist Jnr leaving his native Brussels as a teenager for an apprenticeship in Lamorlaye proved to be the right decision. He moved to France and was based with Belgian trainer Jean-Marc Capitte whom he knew from home. Benoist quickly adapted to life in France, riding his first race and winner in 2000.

The early scepticism he experienced at the hands of his father meant that he would always go about things on his own, rather than engage in the often chaotic lifestyle of partying that so many of the young jockeys fall for at the beginning of their careers.

“

My father, who was a jockey in Belgium and with whom I used to go racing every weekend when I was a child, was rather against me becoming a jockey Benoist has always been known as one of the hardest-working jockeys of his generation whose only distraction is his 11-year-old son, a young man not remotely interested in becoming a jockey.

“I had to learn to stand on my own feet from the word go,” he explains.

“I couldn’t really ask my father for advice as he was a jockey in Belgium and I was a jockey in France. Also, times have changed.

The work ethics are no longer the same as there is so much more money involved. In my father’s time, you worked for one trainer, while today you work for many different trainers.”

His assessment of today’s working conditions is certainly realistic and accepted, but there is a bit of nostalgia in his voice when he continues: “I have to admit that I like working closely together with one or two trainers.

“I like the relationship you can have with an owner as a retained jockey; you really get to know the horses and you can work towards a real future. I think what I’m trying to say is that I appreciate the loyalty you get when you have the chance to work with just one or two yards.”

It was in 2010 that Benoist was offered a contract as second jockey to the Gerard Augustin Normand stable, which was then rapidly expanding.

“I was lucky to have a good agent in Helen Proud Gregory Benoist with the Prix de Diane trophy after winning the Classic on Avenir Certain last summer

“

It’s hugely exciting as Al Shaqab Racing is leaving its mark on racing and it is a great honour to be part of it. It has also provided me with the opportunity to ride for Mr Fabre Barbe, who brokered the deal for me to become second jockey behind Christophe Lemaire,” he remembers. “Then, when Christophe became the HH Aga Khan’s jockey, I became the first jockey.”

It had effectively taken ten working years for Benoist to sign a contract with a major owner, which is quite an achievement, and he is now one of five contracted jockeys in France.

From riding three winners in his first season in 2000 to lifting his first Group 1 race with Ectot in the Criterium International in

2013, the path chosen by Benoist all those years ago has proven to be the right one.

When in April 2015 he was offered the opportunity to become Al Shaqab Racing’s retained jockey in France, he says it was like celebrating Christmas and his birthday on the same day.

“Obviously I don’t ride Trêve,” he smiles, “but Al Shaqab has about 50 horses in training in France with various trainers in Chantilly, as well as in the provinces.

“It’s hugely exciting, as Al Shaqab Racing

is leaving its mark on racing and it is a great honour to be part of it. It has also provided me with the opportunity to ride for Mr Fabre, for whom I had never ridden before.

“And just like every other young jockey in France, I always dreamt of riding for him.”

The filly Al Naamah and the now four-yearold colt Ectot are horses he expects to be part of an exciting second half of the season.

“Al Naamah has a lot of potential and I’m convinced she will win rather sooner than later. There is also a nice two-year-old filly by the name of Gherdaiya, also trained by Mr Fabre and on whom I won first time out at Deauville.

“Another two-year-old is Rkaya, trained

by Jean-Claude Rouget. She won on her first start and then won again on her second start.

“I also like Karar, who is trained by Francis Graffard, as well as the Elie Lellouche-trained Ectot, who is going to run a

gregory benoist Group 3 at Deauville I believe.

“I think maybe the track at Ascot was a bit too fast for him and he hadn’t run for nearly eight months, which is a long time. I haven’t lost faith in him and think he will be back to his best very soon.”

Apart from discovering new trainers, another novelty that riding for Al Shaqab has brought with it is Purebred Arabian racing.

“That’s a new one,” he explains. “I had never actually ridden Purebred Arabians, but have to say I quite enjoy it. Al Shaqab Racing has some of the best Purebred Arabians in training and I have already been quite fortunate to win some of the big races for trainer Thomas Fourcy. In fact, we won a Group 2 PA race at Chantilly with Mister Ginoux, which was fantastic.”

Benoist cannot stop smiling when he adds: “I admit that my goal in my career was always to have a contract. I really wanted it and I got

“

I like the relationship you can have with an owner as a retained jockey because you really get to know the horses and you can work towards a real future to put my name on the dotted line when I was 28 years old. It was then that I really felt I had succeeded, as there are not many contracts around anymore.”

In France, the only owners who afford themselves the luxury of having their own jockey are the HH Aga Khan, the Wertheimer Brothers, Godolphin, the Niarchos family and Augustin Normand who respectively employ Soumillon, Guyon, Barzalona, Pasquier and Benoist. Hence, in the career of a jockey in France, whose governing body issues about

200 licences a year, signing a contract is really “a big deal”.

Benoist confirms: “People respect you more, I think. But most importantly, it gives you a new dimension as a jockey as there is much more exchange between you and the owner and the owner’s manager.

“With Gerard Augustin Normand and his manager Sylvain Vidal I am always on the phone and we talk a lot after racing.

Gordon, who looks after Al Shaqab Racing’s interests in France.

“Everything is clear and I think it also facilitates the communication between the jockey and the trainer. Everybody is going in the same direction, which is great.”

Benoist has never been happier and it shows. He impressed everyone at Lingfield on All-Weather Finals day at the beginning of the season to ride a winner and while it didn’t work out for him at Royal Ascot this year, it is surely only a matter of time before he will lift his first British Group 1.

“Yes,” he smiles broadly, finally overcoming his natural reticence to open himself up to anyone outside his very close-knit circle of friends.

“Life is good. I am very happy to have these contracts.

I couldn’t have signed up with a better team than the Augustin Normand stable, as it was a bit like me in the beginning.

“The stable hadn’t won a lot of races as it was still at

the start of its career. I think there were then around 100 horses, which had been mainly bought out of claiming races and handicaps.

“But then there was Le Havre, who won the Prix du Jockey Club for the stable in 2009; when I became the first jockey to the stable his first foals were ready to run and, so in a way, we climbed that ladder together.”

He sits back and reflects: “When you work like that, it’s extremely satisfying. Today, the stable still has over 100 horses, but the quality has improved a lot.”

Le Havre’s best offspring to date is also the horse that remains the most dear to Greg.

The filly Avenir Certain was not originally owned by Augustin Normand, but her owner Antonio Caro was quickly convinced to enter a partnership that eventually saw Benoist take the ride on the filly in her three-year-old season.

She remains his favourite, even though it was Ectot, then still owned by AugustinNormand, who provided him with his first Group 1 victory.

“Ectot’s victory was special and he remains an amazing horse,” pursues Benoist. “But it is no secret that every jockey wants to win a Classic race and Avenir Certin won two.

“However, I believe that Ectot’s victory in the Prix Niel for Al Shaqab Racing played a very important part in the decision to sign me on as their jockey.

“I was really very flattered that Sheikh Joaan and Harry Herbert decided to let me stay on Ectot for his reappearance in the Prix Niel. And then they also let me ride him in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, which was quite something.

“I think it was important for Al Shaqab to have a jockey in France, as Frankie [Dettori] was travelling back and forth all the time, which wasn’t ideal.”

Benoist’s name has been firmly added to the list of jockeys in France with a promising future. Once more though, he insists: “I think if you work hard and persevere you can do anything. Naturally you also need the good horses to go with it, but I really work hard every day.

“I’m always available for my owners, I ride gallops five mornings a week and I will travel to wherever I’m needed.”

Yes, the boy from Belgium has certainly proved his father wrong, but then, it might just be that his father knew all along exactly what it would take to turn his son into one of the top jockeys in France.

The Next Generation: in the first of a series talking to the “younger” ones in the bloodstock world, Louise Ruffell meets Swedish-born Amanda Zetterholm, who is responsible for nominations and client relations at the Aga Khan Studs’ Haras de Bonneval.

She advises anyone looking for a job in bloodstock to...

...mix horses with an education

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

amanda zetterholm Amanda Zetterholm is based at the Aga Khan’s Haras de Bonneval Stud where she co-ordinates nominations and client relations.

We caught up with her to discuss how she started out in bloodstock and the exciting time that the Haras de Bonneval stallions are currently enjoying.

We also find out what she thinks the best spots are to head to if you are young, fun and going to Deauville this August.

Do you have any specific qualifications, and do you think this helps when starting a career in the industry?

I went to Australia after high school in Sweden and stayed there to study business management at the University of Victoria in Melbourne.

However, I also have a diploma in Equine Sports Massage Therapy.

A degree always helps, especially when applying for a job, but I think it is as important to know the horse as an animal. It is good to appreciate all the hard work that also goes on behind the scenes to get a horse to the racecourse or a mare in-foal.

There are no cutting corners in racing, and in the end hard work and many hours spent doing it, are the only things that pay off in this industry.

Top, leading second-crop stallion Siyouni, bottom and right Classic-producing sires Dalakhani, and, inset, Makfi

How did you start, and are your family involved in racing?

I grew up surrounded by horses as my family breeds horses on the family’s sheep farm. I spent most of my summers on the back of my pony!

My love of racing really only started when I was at university as Flemington racecourse is just across the river.

I ended up riding out for David Hayes before going into lectures.

My first job in the breeding world was for bloodstock agent Damon Gabbedy at Belmont Bloodstock.

Damon taught me everything from bloodlines and sales work right through to what to wear and not!

I then did a few seasons with Mike de Kock in South Africa where I developed an understanding of the racing side, and additionally gained veterinary experience working closely with his main vet Dr John McVeigh.

How long have you been at the Aga Khan Studs, and how did you get to work there?

I started in August 2012 when it was

amanda zetterholm announced that Redoute’s Choice was coming to do a two-season stint at Bonneval.

Stud manager Georges Rimaud thought the business perhaps needed a commercial person, who would focus on selling nomination and caring for our customers as this is something that had never been done at the Aga Khans Studs before.

What have you learnt in the role?

In this role you learn from everyone that you meet; professional breeders, small family operation breeders, a great variety of people and they all have something to teach you.

Additionally, I have been fortunate to learn from this professional team at the Aga Khan Studs, from Pat Downes in Ireland to Georges Rimaud in France.

The team is extremely professional and I have learnt how vitally important it is to know your stock and bloodlines in order to get the most out of their families on the track.

One of the most important things I hope I have realised is that you learn something new everyday; when you think you know it all a horse will present something you have never seen or heard of before.

What are your long-term goals?

experience as you can. I have worked in racing in countries such as Australia, South Africa, Dubai, the US, Italy and Britain before settling down in France.

What do you particularly enjoy about at Haras de Bonneval?

My job allows me to work for a successful owner/breeder operation, while also following our clients on

Looking forward to Deauville What are the Aga Khan stallion Deauville catalogue highlights?

We are very excited to see the Redoute’s Choice yearlings going through the ring.

There are plenty of nice individuals, including a son of the Prix Saint-Alary (G1) winner and ex-Aga Khan mare Vadawina.

She is already dam of Vadamar, a Dalakhani Group 2 winner who was Group 1-placed in the Gran Premio Di Milano.

My dream would be to create a structure where I could breed my own horses and then train them.

Best place to eat in Deauville?

What advice would you give to a young person trying to develop a career in bloodstock /racing?

Where do you recommend the best place is to stay?

My advice would be to get as much hands-on experience as possible, while still keeping up with the studies.

I think it is important to know the groundwork, but it is also important to get an academic degree.

If possible, always strive to learn from the best in the business and never stop learning. Always try to improve in your job, whatever you are doing.

To sum it up: be modest, be observant, use your eyes and your common sense. But most importantly in this world of great people and horses: stay humble.

How do you think working in France differs from working in the bloodstock industry elsewhere?

Every country has its own ways of doing things, while they all strive to be the best in the industry.

This is why I think it is important to travel the world and get as much

Le Comptoire Et La Table, especially if you like truffle!

If you have car and want charming B&B with a great SPA try the Chateau les Parc Fontaines only a few miles outside Deauville.

Where to go for a night out after sales?

Sunset Beach is a nice bar on the beach where you can have a drink and cool your feet in the ocean.

Best place to shop?

Kusmi Tea: sells high quality tea blends. This trendy tea brand was originally started in Russia by Mr Kousmichoff and has now been relaunched in Paris as “the tea to be” .

Must-do’s in Deauville?

Go for a morning run on the boardwalk, while watching the horses being trained on the beach.

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

The first European-bred yearlings by Redoute’s Choice sell at Arqana their own adventure as they aim to breed the best.

I particularly enjoy the intention to improve the stallion operation at Bonneval. So far we have had a great opportunity to work with stallions such as Redoute’s Choice, Makfi and we are also hugely excited to be standing here at Bonneval Champion racehorse Charm Spirit for next year’s breeding season. The standout success of Siyouni is making the upgrade to a commercial stallion station even more positive.

Personally, it is as satisfying if a client wins a Classic with a horse by one of our stallions as it is when we do it ourselves.

My job is my passion – I get to follow the best sales and racing around the world. Working in racing is definitely not a 9-5 job – you live your work and your passion at the same time.

I can’t imagine doing anything outside of the racing world, especially as there are so many different jobs in the industry – it offers you a great variety. Once you’re bitten by the racing world, it is hard to get out!

Are you involved with racing apart from work?

I ride on the Flat as an amateur and also follow NH racing with a passion.

I part-own a couple of horses myself including Kick On, who just won the 4m4f Prix Anjou-Loire Challenge, the longest cross-country race in the world at Lion D’Angers.

He is leading the European championship for cross-country and his next target will be at Craon for the 3m6f Grand Cross de Craon.

It is a hugely exciting time for the farm’s stallions, it must have been a great Royal Ascot week…

It was a huge thrill for the whole team, especially as our last winner at Royal Ascot was Azamour in the St James’s Palace Stakes in 2005 – 10 years ago!

We were all there to cheer on Ervedya, including Pat Downes from Gilltown. We had a picnic in the car park and then shouted our heads off together!

How many mares visited Siyouni this spring?

He covered 180 mares this season with a very good strike rate of 87 per cent mares in-foal.

Any named highlights?

Siyouni’s book of mares includes 80 mares who are black-type themselves or who have already produced black-type horses. They include Pennegale, dam of the Group 1 winner Lily Of The Valley, the Group 1 winner Daryaba and Group winner Vadapolina.

Ervedya’s dam Elva is confirmed back in-foal to Siyouni.

Were there many mares from overseas? Do you think this number will build after Ervedya’s amazing international success?

We had approximately 40 per cent of mares coming from foreign clients and with the success that Siyouni keeps having, next season could be even more intense.

There must already be enquiries for his services in 2016?

Definitely, his book of mares for next year is filling up quickly!

Makfi is turning a few heads now too...

He is an exciting stallion with a Classic winner in his first crop and 50 per cent two-year-old winners-torunners today.

His first crop of three-year-olds is looking good and, if they keep improving like their sire his future is promising.

Great for Dalakhani to get in on the act with a Royal Ascot winner also…

Absolutely, Dalakhani has become a very affordable stallion capable of producing Group 1 winners over all distances. With nearly 50 stakes winners to his name and as a complete outcross of Northern Dancer, he is a huge plus to any breeder today.

he highlight of the opening day of the Deauville meeting is the Group 2 Shadwell-sponsored Prix de Pomone, with all the supporting races named after Shadwell’s thoroughbred stallions.

It’s been over 30 years since HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s colours first arrived on the European racing scene and yet the Deputy Ruler of Dubai and UAE Minister for Finance’s passion for racing and breeding horses is undiminished.

However, it is not just thoroughbreds who are raised and raced in the famous blue and white silks but Arabians too and with over 50 Arabian horses-in-training, split between the UK, France and the UAE, Hamdan is leading in that field too.

He is the patron of the long established Dubai International Arabian Races (DIAR) that are staged at Newbury. It is the biggest full day of Arabian racing in Europe, the eight-race card including three Group 1 races and a Group 2 attracting high-class runners from around the world.

The recent advent of the Qatar Arabian Triple Crown may give Goodwood the honour of hosting the biggest prize fund for a single UK Arabian race, and £400,000 is not to be sniffed at in any racing sphere, but it is now the only Arabian race sponsored by Qatar in Britain.

Shadwell’s commitment to Arabian racing is from the grass roots up and the stud sponsors smaller races on a number of domestic cards, as well as a new series of preparatory races (held across Europe) supporting the feature day at Newbury and offers breeders’ incentives too. Days such as the one at Newbury, and now Huntingdon in September where Shadwell is sponsoring the ARO Season Finale, are not just about who Sheikh Hamdan: is enjoying another fabulous year both with his thoroughbreds and his Arabians

shadwell arabians finishes first, as Shadwell Stud’s director Richard Lancaster explains.

“These events also help to spread an understanding of Arab culture, which is very important. We will hopefully engage with local schools and families from East Anglia to come and enjoy a day’s racing and learn something at the same time about Arabian racing,” he explains.

“The British Horseracing Education and Standards Trust has already kindly lent its support by offering to bring the Equicizer along. If we can continue to build on that education theme, I think it might progress to be quite a useful resource for the industry in terms of opening the sport up to new people.”

Shadwell’s Arabian links with France extend beyond racing into breeding – the farm stands three of their seven Arabian stallions in the country.

Based at Gerard and Jean-Paul Larrieu’s Haras de Saint Faust at the foot of the Pyrenees, the farm covers nearly 250 acres and is in an area that is synonymous with Arabian racehorse breeding. Although Artificial Insemination is accepted in the Arabian stud book, the stallions are still available for natural cover.

Lancaster continues: “The stallions are an interesting side of the business; we stand horses in France so that the French breeders can have access to them as we’ve been lucky enough to buy the horses there.”

The French stallion roster is headed by Madjani, a winner of 13 races from 17 starts, including an impressive seven Group 1s.

He is the only colt to win three consecutive Dubai Kahayla Classics, the Purebred Arabian Group 1 which is held as the opening race on Dubai World Cup night.

Arabian racehorse careers are noted for their longevity, and horses can still be successful at the highest level at eight or nine years of age. With their stock slower to mature than thoroughbreds – three is considered their juvenile year, with the Classic season at four – Arabian stallion masters suffer the same anxieties as those who stand NH sires.

At 15, Madjani has five crops on the ground and with only three of those of racing age, his breeding career is still in its infancy. He had a 52 per cent placed horses to runners strike rate last year.

No Risk Al Maury, two years his junior, can boast six Group 1 successes to his credit including two Dubai International Stakes

Al Hibaab and Paul Hannagan head out for the €1 million Qatar Arabian World Cup

(the feature race of DIAR) and Instanbul’s Malazgirt Trophy, run as part of their International racing festival in September.

At 128, he was also the top-rated European racehorse when ratings were first introduced for Arabians in 2011. He has an excellent temperament, he is a great favourite with all the Shadwell staff and will have his first runners next year.

“It’s early days for Madjani,” Lancaster continues, “he had his first stakes winner at Duindigt recently in a Listed race so we are delighted with his prospects. All the No Risk Al Maury progeny look outstanding and the breeders seem happy with them, although they probably wouldn’t be early types as he took a bit of time himself.”

The French have been breeding Arabians to race for over two centuries so it is no surprise that their bloodlines are dominant. Lancaster has purchased all five of Sheikh Hamdan’s Kahayla Classic winners in France with the help of Gerrard Larrieu and his Chantilly Bloodstock Agency.

The most recent of those was Manark, who surprised even his connections with his emphatic win in March, when he set a new course record in the process.

Bred by one of France’s leading Arabian studs, the de Watrigant family’s Haras de Mandore, he is a product of their foundation bloodline, tracing to their blue hen mare –

Manark and Dane O'Neill at Doncaster

All the No Risk Al Maury progeny look outstanding and the breeders seem happy with them, although they probably wouldn’t be early types Mandore. His grand-dam is a full-sister to the recently deceased Dormane, who was an exceptional sire of sires. Manark started his career in France with trainer Damien de Watrigant and was purchased by Sheikh Hamdan following his debut victory.

Still in the care of de Watrigant he travelled to Newbury to win the juvenile Group 2 contest at DIAR, giving the then recently retained jockey Paul Hanagan his first Arabian winner for his new employer.

Injury forced the horse to miss his Classic season and he was transferred to Shadwell’s base in Thetford to recuperate.

He returned to training with Gillian Duffield, but he showed enough to be considered worthy of carrying the Sheikh’s colours in the Gulf and was sent out to Erwan Charpy. Always a buzzy horse, he had been kept at a mile or shorter so it was not hard

to see why there were stamina concerns for his first attempt at a 1m2f in the Kahayla.

However, the step up in distance, a change of tactics, surface and a hood allowed Manark to fulfil the promise he had shown as a juvenile.

“It was pretty straightforward really,” explained jockey Dane O’Neill after the race.

“We agreed to settle in front and it worked to a tee. I thought there would be a lot more pressure on me; I suppose a lot of people had thought of him as a non-stayer so they were probably just waiting for him to be shot at out in front, but he’s all heart. Erwan has done a great job with this horse.”

A delighted Charpy was full of praise for Manark and his staff.

“I really love this horse. It was a challenge.

Everybody thought we were crazy going from 7f to 1m2f. It really has been a team effort.

Getting him to relax was the key to winning, going to the front unchallenged, he had an easy lead and the track was fast.”

With his pedigree and a victory in Arabian racing’s most coveted race, Manark is an obvious stallion prospect for Shadwell, who lost another French-bred sire Monsieur Al Maury earlier this year.

“It’s always very sad when you lose a stallion, especially one who was showing potential from limited books of mares,” rues Lancaster, before adding: “Monsieur Al Maury was a very good racehorse for us and

No Risk Al Maury at stud

In France, Holland and other European countries, Arabians are not considered second-class citizens – they are trained by professional trainers and are allowed to be housed in professional thoroughbred yards Gill Duffield, winning the Group 1 President Cup as a five-year-old.

“It is possible that we will consider relocating one of the French-based horses to the UK next year if there is a demand for them, either No Risk Al Maury or Al Saoudi.

“We also have two promising potential stallion prospects who are currently in the UAE, and obviously Manark as a Kahayla Classic winner would have appeal wherever.

“He is a good looking horse by Mahaab from a French line. Mahaab is expensive and not for every man’s pocket, but we’ve always tried to be reasonable so we hope Manark will make a stallion for us one day.”

Thanks to the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan, Duffield, based in Lester Piggott’s Eve Lodge Stables on the Hamilton Road, has been UK champion Arabian trainer for 11 seasons and has in the past taken horses to the Gulf to race in the winter.

As she is an Arabian trainer based in the UK, she must remain an amateur – a situation which is unique in British Arabian racing. In France, Sheikh Hamdan’s Arabian handlers, Damien de Watrigant and Francois Rohaut, have thoroughbreds in their yards

82

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

and Rohaut trains thoroughbreds for the Sheikh too. When asked if Britain should fall in line with the rest of the Arabian racing world, Lancaster responded emphatically.

“That is something that I feel should be put right. In France, Holland and other European countries, Arabians are not considered second-class citizens – they are trained by professional trainers and are allowed to be housed in professional thoroughbred yards.

“That is not to say that amateur trainers should be discouraged, they are the grass roots of the sport and should be commended for their efforts with few facilities, but if professional trainers were able to train Arabians it might just provide that cross over that we need to boost the sport to the mainstream.

“Of course, in order to achieve this the sport would have to fall completely in-line with BHA racing regulations.”

Duffield may be classified as an amateur by the BHA but her records both here and abroad are far from “amateurish” – her current stable star is Al Hibaab, who is strongly fancied to win another Dubai International Stakes at Newbury.

He has been plagued with training problems, but his win last year was a huge boost to Sheikh Hamdan’s Arabian string – the team had not won Newbury’s highlight since No Risk Al Maury’s success in 2008.

Al Hibaab then scored again at Group level in Istanbul, before lining up in the Qatar Arabian World Cup, the race following the Arc. As for many of his thoroughbred counterparts, Longchamp’s October meeting was one race too many. He failed to shine then, but has returned this season in good heart taking a Group 1 placing on his reappearance and a subsequent win in preparation for DIAR. What made this horse so special, akin to Sheikh Hamdan’s thoroughbred racing revival last season, was that he was a home-bred, albeit with French bloodlines and foaled in France. This year, Shadwell will send around 10 to 12 mares a year to Saint Faust to foal and be covered, taking advantage of the French breeders’ premiums.

“When you’ve a French home-bred, and you’ve got the substantial breeders’ prizes as well, horses such as Najlaa (by Al Saoudi) and Handassa (by Madjani) pay their way. They are at a considerable advantage and it makes the world of difference if you are successful,” reasons Lancaster.

With Sheikh Hamdan’s thoroughbred three-year-old star Muhaarar securing his future stallion prospects, any further success for Shadwell’s Arabian standard bearer Al Hibaab this year will do the same.

Greasing the Joints

U

nlike their wild counterparts, domestic horses are asked to jump, to bend and flex into difficult movements, to stop and spin on a five-pence piece, to trot for hours or gallop at top speed around a track. All of this puts unnatural stresses and forces on their joints, pressures they were not designed to withstand.

Care of joints is critical in order for a horse to realise its athletic potential. For older arthritic horses, appropriate joint care may allow them to stay pain-

free well into old age.

Numerous injectable and oral supplements are available for treating joint problems and maintaining the structural integrity and health of the joints. The injectable products are the gold standard as far as modification of joint health is concerned, but expense causes horse owners to look to daily oral supplements.

Why we use oral joint supplements?

Oral joint supplements generally contain a few key ingredients that

equine nutrition recovery. Similarly, in the case of arthritis or severe injury, joint supplements can allow the horse to become more comfortable.

Others feed prophylactically, hoping to reduce the risk of injury from high-impact activities. Joint supplements are thought of as insurance against possible damage and are used in many top performance horses.

The equine joint

Any area where two bones meet within the horse’s skeleton is a joint. The ends of the bones are coated with articular cartilage so they slide smoothly over one another during movement and joints are encapsulated in a fluidfilled sac called the joint capsule that protects the joint.

The nutrient-rich synovial fluid that fills the joint capsule is an extremely slippery substance that allows smooth passage of one bone over another and absorbs some of the shock from high-impact work, where bones are forced together under great pressure. The fluid nourishes the articular cartilage with proteins, enzymes,

and sodium hyaluronate, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) that is an important structural component of joint cartilage and is responsible for the viscosity (thickness) of the synovial fluid.

Joint damage can involve any part of the joint or limb structure, including tendons, ligaments, bones, articular cartilage, and the fibrous joint capsule. Damage

Products used in oral joint supplements Glucosamine

The most common ingredient in joint supplements is glucosamine. It is present in supplements either as glucosamine hydrochlorides or glucosamine sulphates.

The former is a more concentrated and stable form of glucosamine, but they both seem to have similar biological effects. Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is the vital precursor to the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in joint cartilage. Glucosamine can reduce GAG degradation and increase synthesis.

These GAGs include chondroitin sulphate (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA), a major ingredient of synovial fluid and a key component of joint cartilage.

GAGs are an essential part of the proteoglycans that make up articular cartilage.

HA is an important contributor to the lubricating properties of joint fluid and elasticity as well as the shock-absorbing properties of joint cartilage.

Glucosamine plays a vital role in reducing inflammation by inhibiting gene expression for destructive enzymes.

It also scavenges free radicals that cause inflammation and pain and destroy the integrity of the cartilage matrix. The anti-inflammatory effect is a genuine modification of the disease process and doesn’t act in an analgesic-only manner. Therefore, the end result is reduced pain and increased joint mobility.

Although glucosamine has low bioavailability in horses as measured by blood levels, it does accumulate in cartilage and is detectable in synovial fluid for at least 12 hours after dosing. Recent research has also shown that higher levels accumulate in inflamed joints

86

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

than normal joints, and low concentrations of glucosamine can inhibit cartilage degradation.

When supplementing glucosamine, a dose of 10g per 500-kg (1100-lb) horse is now recommended and the beneficial effects may take at least four weeks to occur. Glucosamine is very safe, making it suitable for long-term use, although care should be taken in pregnant horses and those with insulin resistance or equine metabolic syndrome.

Chondroitin sulphate

With respect to chondroitin sulfate (CS), absorption is debatable due to its large molecular weight (size) and varied molecular size used in joint-health products.

CS is typically obtained from bovine, whale or shark cartilage. Several studies have characterised the intact absorption as low, and bioavailability studies measure only the nonactive fraction of CS. CS is the primary GAG that makes up the proteoglycans found in joint cartilage. It is known that joint injury and the ensuing inflammation cause a reduction in the amount of proteoglycans. Thus, CS theoretically could help replace proteoglycans. CS has also been proposed to inhibit the action of some enzymes associated with cartilage breakdown and to have general anti-inflammatory properties.

In vitro studies have shown some positive results with CS, and there are also some clinical studies with a combination of CS and glucosamine products that have been encouraging.

One study in old horses showed increased stride length and range of joint motion, as well as improved soundness compared to control

horses that were not treated.

Definitive data to document the effect of CS is still unavailable, though the effects on gene expression seen with glucosamine were not observed with CS. CS-only products should supply 4.5g CS per 500-kg (1100lb) horse, and it is recommended that CS is used in combination with glucosamine. In that situation a lower dose is appropriate.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) and methionine

Methionine, a sulphur-bearing amino acid, is converted to an important component of connective tissue, S-adenosylmethionine, which has been used successfully in clinical applications in humans for osteoarthritis.

Unfortunately, S-adenosylmethionine is expensive, but its precursors are not.

Methionine is a sulphur-bearing amino acid that acts as a catalyst and aids in the metabolism of glucosamine to glycosaminoglycan (GAG). The sulphur supplied by methionine is also used in the synthesis of collagen, which gives strength to connective tissue and cartilage. MSM is a source of organic sulphur and is thought to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, there is no data to substantiate how much MSM is required for this effect, or if MSM provides a protective effect on cartilage.

Trace minerals (copper, zinc, manganese) Zinc is required for the functioning of over 70 different enzymes within the horse. For joints, it is essential for hydrolysis and cross-linking needed for collagen formation. Zinc-deficient animals have been shown to have impaired cartilage and collagen development.

equine nutrition to any of these components instigates inflammation, which allows large numbers of “clean up� enzymes and prostaglandins into the joint. The GAGs are destroyed and the synovial fluid loses its viscosity.

Without the rich nutrients of the synovial fluid, the articular cartilage starves and becomes

damaged, giving way to bone damage as the bone ends begin to grind against one another. The bone responds by laying down more bone tissue, called spurs, which can further damage the joint and lead to severe joint inhibition and pain.

It takes more than a single traumatic strain or accident to

Copper is a coenzyme required for the formation of the disulfide bonds in collagen that are needed for strength and elasticity.

Manganese is important in this formula as a cofactor in GAG and HA synthesis, and in cartilage repair and maintenance. It is also involved as a cofactor in collagen formation.

Most unsupplemented home-mixed diets will not contain enough zinc, copper, or manganese to supply the needs of athletic horses.

Antioxidants

Vitamin C is a powerful free-radical scavenger.

Free radical levels are higher in inflamed joints and can damage collagen and proteoglycan (PG).

Vitamin C plays several roles in the formation and maturation of collagen, but again there is no data on horses on the value of vitamin C in a joint supplement.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Research in humans and many animals has shown that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have an anti-inflammatory effect that can benefit joints as well as other parts of the body.

Many humans take fish oil supplements to reduce inflammation and pain in joints, and recent research has found similar effects in horses.

Supplementing EPA and DHA in fish oil led to reduced markers of inflammation in the joints of both yearlings and older horses with arthritis.

Another study found increased trot stride length in horses given EPA and DHA, and this was thought to relate to reduced joint pain.

Performance horses are the perfect candidates for omega-3 supplementation as they are often fed large amounts of grain, which normally contains an abundance of omega-6 fatty acids, to maintain body condition.

There are many reasons to supplement long-

cause this kind of damage.

Progressive degeneration of joints is commonplace, especially in hard-working horses, and degenerative joint disease limits the careers of many performance horses.

Oral supplement ingredients

Oral joint supplements generally

contain a few key ingredients (glucosamine, chondroitin) and they may be present alone or in various combinations.

Supplements vary in price from reasonably economical to very expensive, and liquids are usually favoured over powders. For a joint supplement to be effective, it must first be

“

Inflammation resulting from exercise leads to a hastening of the breakdown of HA, which in turn causes reduced joint fluid viscosity and a vicious cycle of further inflammation chain omega-3 fatty acids, but care of the joints is an important consideration.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the joint and other connective tissues. It is produced by the synovial membrane lining the joint, and is the primary agent responsible for the viscosity and lubricating properties of the synovial fluid. It is also a regulator of cell and tissue function and has cell-signaling (anti-inflammatory) properties. HA is the backbone of aggregate PGs in articular cartilage and contributes to cartilage structure. It also has some antioxidant properties.

There is regular turnover of HA in the joint, and research has shown that horses produce 30-160 mg of HA per day, which is incorporated into synovial fluid and cartilage.

However, inflammation resulting from exercise leads to a hastening of the breakdown of HA, which in turn causes reduced joint fluid viscosity and a vicious cycle of further inflammation.

HA has a very short half life in horses, especially after intravenous injection, after which blood levels have been shown to return to normal within three hours. This rapid clearance of HA from intravenous delivery suggests that regular daily oral administration will be useful.

The HA molecule is measured in units called Daltons. Natural HA has a molecular weight of 1 million Daltons or more, and studies have shown that low-molecular-weight HA material does not have the same properties as natural or

supplementary high-molecular-weight HA. Due to the size of the molecule, absorption of HA is a considerably variable, while it is also difficult to measure how absorption into the blood, or more importantly the joint, is measured. Oral dosing of radioactively labelled HA of 1 million Daltons in size has shown that there is uptake of HA into the joints of rats and dogs for up to 48 hours after a single dose.

Oral supplements are easier to use and less expensive than intravenous (IV) or intra-articular (IA) treatments. Given the rapid clearance of HA from the blood and synovial fluid after IV or IA administration, daily oral supplementation can be used to augment IV or IA treatment.

Shark cartilage, green-lipped mussels and sea cucumbers

Are substances extracted from the sea useful for joint health of horses? Shark or bovine cartilage and perna mussels are natural sources of chondroitin sulphate, but there are concerns about how much CS these sources contain and the ability of the horse to absorb CS, especially from an unprocessed source.

Green-lipped mussel extract is included in many joint supplements because it is thought to contain various beneficial substances including glucosamine, CS, proteins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Some research has been done on rats and have shown anti-inflammatory effects, but there is no equine research available and bioavailability of the nutrients within the extract is unknown.

years to complete and cost millions of dollars. Investigating preventative aspects would also be very difficult.

There is only experience and anecdotal evidence to go on.

What we can say is that most oral joint supplements will do no harm, as long as they don’t contain prohibited substances.

Because some supplementation can show benefits, a trial is often justified.

And be careful – studies in the US have shown great variation between label claim and actual composition in many products. As well as comparing the contents, look for a label from a reputable supplement manufacturer.

Conclusion: clinical trials required absorbed into the bloodstream, then it must travel through the circulatory system to the joints, and finally the body must be able to use it in repair of joint tissue.

Products aim to counteract inflammation, reduce damage

and stimulate cartilage repair.

Once each constituent has been investigated alone, the various combinations must also be researched as there may be some synergistic relationships, which suggest specific ratios of

the various building blocks and their mode of delivery.

Research is extremely expensive, and the studies required to fully cover all the variables associated with equine joint supplements would take

Some of the substances often used in oral joint supplements: more trial work is required to test efficacy

The bottom line regarding the efficacy of oral joint supplements is still unclear.

Many knowledgeable horsemen have used joint supplements on horses in their care with great success, but others have tried supplements and reported no detectable differences.

If used for preventive purposes, how can you tell if they are successfuk?

Well-designed clinical trials conducted by reputable companies using large numbers of horses are needed to validate efficacy and value of these products.

Many potentially valuable benefits of oral joint supplements exist, but to date the efficacy of these supplements in horses is still unproven and many products do not contain enough of the key ingredients.

The good news is that some controlled research is being conducted to answer important questions surrounding oral joint supplements.

Machiavellian-Magna Graecia (Warning)

Territories: out of the Machiavellian mare Taranto by Invincible Spirit, he descends from one of the best and founding families of Darley Stud

leneagles looks the star miler of 2015, and a large compliment was paid to the dual Guineas winner when Territories scored impressively in the Prix Jean Prat (G1) at Chantilly.

The son of Invincible Spirit, out of Taranto, had finished a good second to Gleneagles at Newmarket in the 2,000 Guineas – should the pair meet again, it will be a fascinating clash.

Sentiment should not perhaps play a large part in business, but the bloodstock industry may be the exception to that rule. Sheikh Mohammed could well be forgiven if he harboured a soft spot for his mare Taranto and her family, descending as she does from two

prized jewels in the glittering crown of Darley’s bloodstock – Machiavellian and Helen Street.

As such, Territories’s dam replicates the cross that produced one of the very best horses bred to date by Darley, Street Cry. Machiavellian was, of course, one of the very best stallions stood by Darley, until Dubawi came along. As sire of such as Street Cry and Medicean, to name but two, Machiavellian has left his own strong mark on the breed. His daughters have equally contributed plenty, among them Street Cry’s full sister Helsinki, dam of another top performer and Group 1-producing stallion Shamardal.

Like Machiavellian, Helen Street was acquired by the Sheikh, rather than being

a home-bred. Out of the Riverman mare Waterway, Helen Street raced in the colours of her owner-breeder Sir Michael Sobell who, of course, also raced her Derby-winning sire Troy.

A talented performer at two, when she mimicked her dam by winning the Prix du Calvados (G3), Helen Street went to the well at the highest level several times at three.

However she had the misfortune to come of age in the Classic season of 1985, which contained a mighty distaffperformer in Oh So Sharp while one step up the ladder of age lurked the supremely talented Pebbles.

Third to Oh So Sharp in the Nell Gwyn, Helen Street was a disappointing fourth in the Musidora Stakes (G3) when sent off the

www.internationalthoroughbred.net

mare of the month favourite. Punters forgave her to the extent that she was sent off at only 3-1 for her next start, in the Irish Oaks (G1) at the Curragh.

There was to be no mistaking her talent on this occasion though and she drew clear of a smart field to win by two and a half lengths.

In spite of starting at 8-11 for the Yorkshire Oaks (G1), Helen Street could finish only fourth, and she was sixth of 11 in the Phoenix Champion Stakes (G1). In her final European appearance she again finished fourth, but this time with little disgrace, beaten as she was by Pebbles and the Derby winner Slip Anchor, and she also filled the same spot on her seasonal bow in the Washington DC International at Laurel in November 1985.

Having watched his own Oh So Sharp beat Helen Street in the Fillies’ Mile and Nell Gwyn, and Pebbles inflict another defeat on her in the Champion Stakes, Sheikh Mohammed had plenty of opportunity to contemplate the merits of Helen Street during her career.

Clearly he liked what he saw as the filly was acquired for Darley and she duly produced her first foal, the Shadeed colt Ilia, for the operation in 1987.

H

elen Street produced 10 winners from 14 foals during her stud career, among them four who attained blacktype. Although a mating with Pennekamp produced the Listed winner Historian, and a tryst with Soviet Star begat the Listed-placed Sovetsky, it was when bred to Machiavellian that Helen Street produced her most lasting effects.

Helsinki arrived in 1993 and, although only Listed-placed herself, she struck gold at stud as dam of the dual French Classic winner and

“

Helen Street had the misfortune to come of age in the Classic season of 1985, which contained a mighty distaff performer in Oh So Sharp top miler Shamardal, the first horse to benefit from new-look Prix du Jockey-Club.

Shamardal, by Giant’s Causeway, is in turn making his own mark at stud, with 13 Group 1 winners to date, and his first sire son, Lope De Vega, having made a flying start.

Five years after foaling Helsinki, Helen Street produced her greatest performer, Street Cry. The Dubai World Cup winner died last year at the young age of 16, but had left an indelible mark on the breed with the great Zenyatta, the Kentucky Derby hero Street Sense and Melbourne Cup victor Shocking.

Two years before producing Helsinki, Helen Street delivered a filly by Sadler’s Wells named Grecian Slipper. The winner of half of her six starts for Major Dick Hern, Grecian Slipper failed to secure black-type, but was still afforded a berth at stud.

She rewarded that faith by producing 10 winners from 14 foals – the same number as her dam – and although there was no Street Cry among their number, they did include three black-type winners, among them the Warning filly Magna Graecia.

Trained in France for Sheikh Mohammed

by Alex Pantall, Magna Graecia notched up

five victories at three and four with her biggest moment coming in the Prix de Barbeville (G3) over 1m5f at Longchamp.

For her first mating, the decision was made to send Magna Graecia to a proven stallion, and who better than Machiaevllian?

Just a year earlier, as Magna Graecia was proving her merits in France, Machiavellian’s son Medicean had landed the Lockinge (G1) and Eclipse Stakes (G1), while in Dubai and the US, Street Cry had gained a Grade 1 third and more was expected in 2002.

That first mating resulted of course in the lightly raced Taranto. Unbeaten in two starts at two for André Fabre, she missed the majority of her Classic season making a belated threeyear-old debut for Saeed bin Suroor in the Listed River Eden Stakes at Lingfield. She bagged her black-type in style finding only High Heel Sneakers too good losing by only a head to that filly who had already notched up a number of Group placings.

Taranto could not build on the promise of that run in her only subsequent start when she managed only fifth of 14 in the Listed Gillies Stakes at Windsor in early November 2006, and she was quietly retired to the paddocks.

Although she produced a winner to Tiger Hill in her first year at stud, Taranto since has been courted by plenty of speed influences, presumably with one eye on the stamina profile of her dam.

She has produced two winners by Pivotal and also has a colt by Oasis Dream. After Territories, Taranto returned to the Irish National Stud’s flagship sire in 2013 and has a yearling colt. She produced a filly this year by the multiple Group 1-winning Australian sprinter Sepoy.

photo of the month: the champ back in action Multiple champion NH jockey Tony McCoy was seen back on a horse for the first time in public since his retirement from race riding at the JCB Champions Challenge. It was a team showjumping event, held at the Barbury Horse Trials at Barbury Castle, Marlborough.

Joining McCoy’s team of jockeys were Sam TwistonDavies, current leading NH jockey Richard Johnson and Wayne Hutchinson, stable jockey to Barbury trainer Alan King.

In the preliminary round, McCoy’s team trailed the Bicester with Whaddon Hunt team, who stole a late win on their final leg after Johnson’s mount proved a little less than willing over the first two obstacles.

But, amidst the chants of “we miss you AP”, a jump-off between the jockeys and the eventers was demanded.

AP set the pace with a blistering round to take the lead from Andrew Nicholson.

The final leg provided a nail-biting finish between Johnson and Meade. They both crossed each other’s tracks in the water obstacle and following a “stewards enquiry”, the jump jockeys were crowned the winning team of the second battle of Barbury.

Following the race AP said: “It felt great to be back in the saddle and today was something a bit different, and at least we won!”.

He’s not lost that competitive spirit yet.
